title: An improved water bath for ultrasound biomicroscopy.
abstract: A beveled, oval-shaped eyecup molded from a medical-grade polymer with a round fluid reservoir fused to the top of it has been designed for use with the ultrasound biomicroscope. This new design addresses the problem of saline leaking out from under the water bath, improves comfort for patients with various lid fissures, and increases room for oscillations of the ultrasound probe.
