Advanced B-Scan Ultrasonography at Leder Retina
At Leder Retina, located in Jacksonville, FL, we use state-of-the-art B-scan ultrasonography to get clear, detailed images of your eye’s internal structures. This safe, non-invasive test helps us diagnose and monitor various eye conditions when traditional methods might not give us the full picture.
Why Choose B-Scan Ultrasonography at Leder Retina?
B-scan ultrasonography is a powerful tool for evaluating the eye when the view is blocked by cataracts, hemorrhages, or other opacities. Our Jacksonville ophthalmologists use this imaging to visualize the retina, vitreous, optic nerve, and more. It’s crucial in detecting retinal detachments, tumors, or foreign bodies.
During the procedure, a small probe sends sound waves into your eye, creating real-time images without any discomfort. You can trust our team to interpret these results accurately to guide your treatment plan. If you’re experiencing sudden vision changes or trauma, this test can be a vital step toward preserving your sight.

FAQs
What is B-scan ultrasonography?
B-scan ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce cross-sectional images of the eye’s interior structures, especially useful when the view is obscured.
Is the B-scan test painful or invasive?
No, it’s a painless and non-invasive procedure. A gel is applied to your eyelid or eye surface, and a small probe gently emits sound waves to capture images.
How long does the B-scan procedure take?
Typically, the test takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination.
When is B-scan ultrasonography recommended?
It’s recommended when doctors cannot see the retina or vitreous clearly due to cataracts, bleeding, or trauma. It helps diagnose retinal detachments, tumors, or foreign bodies inside the eye.
How do I prepare for a B-scan ultrasound?
No special preparation is needed. Just arrive at your appointment, and our team at Leder Retina will guide you through the process.
