We observed the anterior segment of eyes in one case of sclerocornea and one case of microcornea using an ultrasound biomicroscope. The sclerocornea was the peripheral type. The contrast in the image of ultrasound biomicroscopy changes from low to high density in proportion to the optical opacity at the peripheral portion of the cornea. There was no abnormality in the anatomical figures of the anterior chamber angle in ultrasound biomicroscopic findings, which gave significant information in the cataract surgery. The patient with microcornea had horizontal nystagmus, partial coloboma of the iris, choroidal coloboma, and cataract in both eyes. We observed the iris tissue in all the meridians in the ultrasound biomicroscopic pictures. Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a promising procedure for examining the anterior segment of eyes with corneal opacity.
