Understanding how to perform and document an ocular ultrasound is a valuable skill every ophthalmologist should have. Today we will discuss some of the basics of how to perform a screening ophthalmic ultrasound. I’d like to give a special acknowledgement to one of my former colleagues at Harbor-UCLA medical center, Dr. Ronald Green. Dr. Green taught me a great deal about ultrasonography and many of the images I present were shared with me by Dr. Green. For those you who are interested in learning more, I would highly encourage reading “Ultrasound of the Eye and Orbit” written by Drs. Byrne and Green (see below).
