Fig. 2

Schematics of operation procedures and corresponding images of B-scan ultrasonography. a1, commonly used axial scanning; b1, transverse scanning from the temporal side of the right eye with the eye turning to the left as far as possible; and c1, transverse scanning from the nasal side of the right eye with the eye turning to the right as far as possible. Only the echo of the posterior surface of the lens is shown under axial scanning (a2). Because of swelling of the lens after traumatic cataract, the echo of the whole lens can be displayed with transverse scanning (b2-c2)
