AB Ultrasound  of  the  globe  and  orbit  can  be  a  valuable  tool  in  evaluating  patients  with  serious  eye  complaints.  Its  benefit  can  even  be  extended  to  those  with  concerns  for  increased  intracranial  pressure  (ICP).  In  many  acute  ocular  conditions,  the  physical  examination  is  difficult  and  often  unreliable.  Specialized  equipment  and  ophthalmologic  consultation  are  frequently  unavailable  in  the  emergency  department  (ED).  In  many  circumstances,  ultrasound  is  more  accurate  than  traditional  examination  techniques  for  assessing  a  wide  variety  of  ocular  and  orbital  diseases,  including  penetrating  globe  injuries,  retinal  detachment,  and  papilledema.1−4
