Imagery - ultrasound biomicroscopy and anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomography - in the diagnosis of anterior segment pathology.

The aim of this paper was to show the usefulness of imagery in better documenting the pathology of the anterior segment. The article comprises clinical cases, insisting on how imagery was essential in establishing the diagnosis or the therapeutic plan. Lack of imagery would have made establishing a proper diagnosis much more difficult. Although clinical examination is simple and offers a fairly good amount of information, some particular cases of anterior segment pathology need additional investigations, every method having its indications and limits.
