Eye Ultrasonography (B-Scan)

Eye Ultrasonography (B-Scan) – Chokher Seba Hospital

Eye Ultrasonography, also known as B-Scan, is a valuable diagnostic imaging technique used at Chokher Seba Hospital to visualize the internal structures of the eye when they cannot be seen clearly through routine examination. This test uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed, real-time images of the eye and the surrounding tissues.

 

B-Scan ultrasonography is especially helpful when the view of the retina or vitreous is blocked due to:

·           Dense cataract

·           Severe corneal opacity

·           Vitreous hemorrhage

·           Eye trauma or swelling

 

With Eye Ultrasonography (B-Scan), our ophthalmologists can detect and evaluate a wide range of conditions, including:

·           Retinal detachment

·           Vitreous hemorrhage

·           Tumors or masses inside the eye

·           Foreign bodies

·           Posterior segment abnormalities

·           Optic nerve issues

 

The procedure is quick, painless, safe, and requires no radiation. A small probe is gently placed over the closed eyelid, providing high-quality images that help guide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

 

At Chokher Seba Hospital, B-Scan ultrasonography is performed by trained professionals using modern equipment to ensure precision and comfort. This technology strengthens our commitment to comprehensive and advanced eye care for every patient.
