• When a patient presents with a recent reduction in vision and the media does not allow an adequate view of the fundus with ophthalmoscopy, other select diagnostic procedures can prove to be invaluable.
  • B-scan ultrasound, now portable and affordable, is the best choice in such cases but optos® and OCT may also be of value.
  • In this case of Marfan syndrome, B-scan revealed both a dislocated lens and retinal detachment in the left eye 3 decades ago. Recently, B-scan again revealed a dislocated lens and retinal detachment, but this time in the right eye as well.
