Abstract
Ultrasound biomicroscopy provides high-resolution in vivo images of the anterior segment of the eye. It helps in understanding ocular anatomy, pathophysiology of many ophthalmic diseases and in planning their management.This chapter includes the principle, technique and clinical applications of ultrasound biomicroscopy.
