Comments and ConclusionsThe ciliary body is invisible to ophthalmoscopy and to slit lamp biomicroscopy.Lesions of the ciliary body are nearly always invisible to instruments that use light but are easily detectable by instruments using sound.The UBM is ideal for imaging mass lesions of the ciliary bodyVery common lesions, such as ciliary body cysts, are
Case 1: Quantel Aviso Ultrasound Biomicroscope UBM section at 8 o’clock at the time of diagnosis (June 2013) and 5 months later (Nov 2013). The mass has appeared to have regressed considerably.The patient had a normal PET scan at that time but that does not indicate the metastasis will not occur in the future.

Case 1: Quantel Aviso Ultrasound Biomicroscope This 9 to 3 o’clock (from left to right UBM section in the right eye in Nov 2013) barely reveals the mass, which has regressed. Although the patient had undergone LPI’s in both eyes followed by gonioplasty several years earlier, the angles still appear somewhat narrow with a
Case 1: Optomap Color Fundus Image OD-Nov 2013 In July, the mass was noted to be 363 pixels away from a normal vessel bend but in November, the measurement appears to be approximately 589 pixels. This suggests that the mass is much further from the vessels bend in November than in June and hence
Case 1: Optomap Color Fundus Images Sequential UWF images. Interpreted as within normal limits in 2008. However, a mass lesion was noted in June 2013, treated in July, and appears to be regressing by Sept with further regression in Nov of the same year. The red circle and blue square are used
