title: Ultrasound biomicroscopy in the assessment of penetrating or blunt anterior-chamber trauma.
abstract: Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was employed in the assessment of the anterior chamber in patients affected by penetrating and blunt traumas. UBM detected correctly the extent and the localization of penetrating injuries and the presence of foreign bodies, IOL dislocation, and angular structures or ciliary body damages.
