Ocular (Eye) Ultrasound Izmir

Ocular ultrasound is a diagnostic method that allows imaging of the intraocular lens, vitreous, retina, and surrounding soft tissues of the eye. Using sound waves, it evaluates the reflective properties of tissues to provide information about the posterior segment of the eye, especially the retina. It is an easy-to-perform, painless, and non-invasive examination for the patient, though experience is required for accurate interpretation.

It is particularly useful when intraocular structures cannot be assessed with a standard examination due to media opacities such as cataracts or intraocular hemorrhage. Ocular ultrasound is also valuable for detecting and monitoring retinal detachment, intraocular foreign bodies, and intraocular tumors.
