By Christine Yue, Senior Associate Editor U ltrasound biomicroscopy is a valuable adjunctive imaging tool for evaluating glaucoma, particularly in atypical or complex cases. Here’s an overview of its role in glaucoma assessment. UBM is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the anterior segment of the eye in high resolution. Unlike B-scan ultrasonography, which employs lower-frequency probes (10 to 20 MHz), limiting axial resolution to 150 to 450 µm, UBM probes typically operate between 35 and
