Ocular Ultrasonography

Ocular ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique used to examine the eye and surrounding structures using sound waves. In an emergency setting, doctors quickly perform this test to assess for conditions like retinal detachment, bleeding, or tumors. A small device called a transducer emits sound waves that bounce off the eye, creating a detailed image on a screen. This non-invasive procedure helps doctors diagnose issues rapidly, guiding treatment decisions while ensuring the patient's vision and overall eye health are maintained.
