We observed 73 patients with anophthalmos with different types of intraorbital implants, and subatrophy of the globe. For three- dimensional ultrasound image of the orbit we used a new immersion substation on the basis of compressed polyvinyl alcohol, which was placed between the probe and the eyelids, excluding «dead zone». Acoustic density of the orbital structure and orbital blood flow were estimated.

A comprehensive echographic study of the orbit using an immersion environment, including high-gray-scale scanning, echo densitometry, volumetric ultrasound scan and color Doppler mapping in 19 patients with post-traumatic subatrophy and 7 patients with congenital microphthalmia. Found that low rates of eye prosthesis in anophthalmia in the late periods is due to insufficient volume of the musculoskeletal stump; if in the orbit exist a reduced in size eye (anteroposterior axis of 10.0 mm or more), the using of prosthesis does not develop deformation of the facial skeleton; the visualization of bloodstream in the great vessels at 2nd — 3rd stages of subatrophy and microphthalmia testifies the preservation of blood supply of the structures of the eye and orbit, presence of trophic.
