A member asked:
Is b-scan (ultrasound) effective in evaluating vitreous syneresis?doc said it's difficult to see with indirect ophthalmoscope.only traction's visible.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very accurate: The resolution of most b-mode ultrasound is 2 mm. It can give a qualitative picture of the vitreous, attached, detached, foreign body etc. Syneresis is a quality that is better appreciated by slit lamp exam and indirect ophthalmoscopy.
