ABSTRACT
Inability to examine the posterior segment ophthalmoscopically in eyes with cataractous lens makes sonography a helpful tool in hands of ophthalmologists to get an idea about the structures behind the lens. In this work 71 eyes with complicated cataract and 27 eyes with traumatic were examined clinically and both A, B scan were performed to all of them. We found 27 cataractous eyes complicated to iridocyclities, 15 due to degenerative myopia, one of them showed retinal detachment, 14 eyes due to neglected retinal detachment, 10 eyes due to glaucoma, and 5 eyes due to diabetes mellitus. In traumatic cataract 14 eyes had penetrating injury, 9 had blunt and 5 bad retained intraocular foreign bodies
