What is an Ultrasound (USG) Eye Test?

The Ultrasound (USG) Scan: Orbits or Eye Ultrasound Test examines the eye's dimensions and structures.

The doctor suggests this test to examine the eye portion that cannot be viewed directly or the space behind the eye.

Why is it done? 

• This exam may be necessary if you have cataracts or other eye conditions.

• Before cataract surgery, an A-scan ultrasound analyses the eye to estimate lens implant power.

• A B-scan looks within the eye or around and behind the eye (orbit). If you have cataracts or other disorders that prevent the doctor from seeing inside your eye. In some cases, it can detect retinal detachment or malignancies.
