Sonographic study of 164 patients (328 eyes) in the present series highlights the advantages of ocular ultra sonography (B-mode) in the evaluation of retinal disorders especially in patients with opaque ocular media. B-mode sonography of the eye is a rapid, cheap, safe and reliable investigation for the eye. The sensitivity and specificity of this modality in detecting ocular pathologies has been recorded as extremely high and is of great value to the eye surgeon for a preoperative assessment of the posterior segment when fundoscopy is not possible due to opaque ocular media from various causes.
