Standardized A-echography in the diagnostics of eye diseases

The development and the improvement of new imaging methods are current trends in ophthalmology. The literature review is devoted to the use of standardized A-echography in the diagnostics of ocular pathology. The history of the development of this method, the basic principles of obtaining A-sonograms, the features of the qualitative and quantitative assessments of pathological changes in the structures of the eye based on echographic data are presented. Standardized A-echography is most widely used in the diagnostics of vitreoretinal pathology, intraocular mass (choroidal melanoma, choroidal hemangioma, non-tumor formations) and assessment of orbital structures (optic nerve, extraocular muscles, orbital tumors).
