[Eye with implanted keratoprosthesis in ultrasound biomicroscopy].
OBJECTIVE
Of the study is to assess the possibility of the ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in diagnosis of the eyes with implanted Fiodorov-Zujev's keratoprosthesis.


METHODS
We examined 10 eyes of 10 patients, 3 females and 7 males. The patients were 12 to 17 years after the second stage of keratoprosthesis implantation (mean 14.9 +/- 1.37).


METHODS
The examinations were performed with the use of ultrasound biomicroscope (Humphrey Instruments model 840).


RESULTS
UBM made it possible to visualise keratoprosthesis and many complications: decentration of keratoprosthesis, thinning of anterior part of leucoma, shallowing of anterior chamber, very narrow angle of filtration, retroprosthetic membrane-like structures.
