Abstract Because the part of the globe in direct contact with the transducer cannot be visualised and focussed transducers have poor imaging qualities at a distance less than 5–8 mm from their surface, diagnostic ultrasound of the anterior eye segment has been treated in a stepmotherly way. With a simplified immersion technique we can visualize quite accurately a variety of pathologic conditions of the cornea, anterior chamber, iris, lens and ciliary body. The B-mode information is superior to the A-mode in this part of the eye.
