Ultrasound biomicroscopy

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a type of ultrasound eye exam that makes a more detailed image than regular ultrasound. High-energy sound waves are bounced off the inside of the eye and the echo patterns are shown on the screen of an ultrasound machine. This makes a picture called a sonogram.
