title: [Eye with implanted keratoprosthesis in ultrasound biomicroscopy].
abstract: 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.
