Summary
Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) effectively diagnosed postoperative complications in eyes with single-piece intraocular lenses (IOLs). UBM revealed IOL malposition and haptic displacement, crucial for guiding treatment strategies.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Postoperative complications following intraocular lens (IOL) placement can impact visual outcomes.
- Single-piece IOLs are commonly used, but potential complications require careful monitoring.
Observation:
- This study retrospectively analyzed 5 pseudophakic eyes experiencing noninfectious postoperative complications after phacoemulsification and IOL insertion.
- Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was employed to assess IOL position relative to the pupil and capsular bag.
Findings:
- UBM imaging consistently demonstrated IOL malposition, including tilting and extra-capsular haptic displacement in all affected eyes.
- These findings confirm haptic issues as a cause of postoperative complications.
Implications:
- UBM is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying IOL malposition and haptic displacement.
- Early diagnosis via UBM aids in managing complications like uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome.
- Accurate localization of the IOL and haptics is essential for effective treatment planning, including repositioning or removal.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.
