AB  - PURPOSE: To evaluate morphologic changes in the anterior segment using ultrasound 
      biomicroscopic imaging (UBM) after phacoemulsification and foldable intraocular 
      lens implantation (IOL). METHODS: Thirty-six patients with a mean age of 68.68 +/- 
      8.44 years (range 51-89) who had phacoemulsification and foldable IOL 
      implantation were included in this prospective study. Several anterior segment 
      parameters including aqueous depth (AQD), trabecular meshwork-iris angle (TIA), 
      ciliary body thickness (CBT), sclera thickness (ST), trabecular meshwork-ciliary 
      process distance (T-CPD), iris-ciliary processes distance (I-CPD), and iris 
      thickness (IT) were measured using UBM preoperatively and at postoperative month 
      2. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in AQD (p<0.001) and TIA 
      (p<0.001) at postoperative month 2. However, CBT, ST, T-CPD, I-CPD, and IT did 
      not significantly change (p>0.05) during the study period. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Removal of the crystalline lens results in change in the anterior segment 
      parameters. Our results confirmed that UBM is a helpful option for the analysis 
      of anterior segment structures both qualitatively and quantitatively.
