UBM (ultrasound biomicroscopy) is a high-frequency ultrasound imaging technique that can generate images of ocular structures with resolutions approaching light microscopy to a depth of 4-5mm. It has three main components: a transducer, signal processor, and articulated arm. UBM uses immersion technique with fluid to image the cornea as a multilayered structure and measure anterior chamber depth, angle, iris thickness, and iridolenticular contact distance. It can be used to assess corneal and scleral diseases, tumors, glaucoma, trauma, and IOL complications by providing detailed images of angle structures, iris behavior, and IOL position.
