Abstract

The use of ultrasound in ophthalmology involves three fields: diagnosis, therapy and surgery. Diagnosis, wich includes biometry (i.e. the measurement of the thickness of eye components), is the most widely used. The first paper on diagnostic ultrasound was published by Mundt and Hughes in 1956. In little less than 30 years development has occurred to the extent that nowadays computerized techniques of ultrasound tissue characterization seem to have reached the point of performing “acoustic biopsy in vivo” (Coleman et al., 1983). This 30 year development has led to an increase in the number of devices manufactured, but their number is still relatively small in comparison with the technological advances which have characterized other fields of diagnostic ultrasound. Since the very beginning the problem of safety of diagnostic procedures has been of great concern in clinical field. However, after only a few studies this problem was put aside.
