Abstract

Abstract : Background . To evaluate the imaging characteristics of the lens subluxation with the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy. Methods . From October 2018 to September 2019, 55 eyes diagnosed with lens subluxation were enrolled in the group. All patients underwent detailed eye examination and panoramic ultrasound biomicroscopy. Results . The most common sites of lens suspensory ligament injury were superior temporal side (32.73%) and superior nasal side (23.63%). The most common range of subluxation in all patients was 30°. Comparing the measurement indicators of all patients, ciliary body thickness (CBT) in affected eyes was smaller than that in healthy eyes (0.79 ± 0.21, 1.04 ± 0.16), the distance between ciliary process and crystal equator increased (1.91 ± 0.70, 1.17 ± 0.32), and iris-ciliary processes distance (ICPD) increased (1.04 ± 0.51, 0.80 ± 0.17) (P < 0.05 ). The range of subluxation in patients with lens subluxation was positively correlated with the distance between ciliary processes and the crystal equator. Conclusions . The ultrasound biological microscope has a good application significance in the diagnosis of lens subluxation. From this study, we suggest that the three indexes of CBT, ICPD, and the distance between the ciliary process and crystal equator are of high reference value in ultrasound biomicroscopy among patients with lens subluxation.
