Results-  In the obtained 2D images, the eye parts were showed a distinct anechogenic to hypoechogenic structure. Details of the eyes compartments were observed by 2D transducers. Anterior and posterior lens capsules and optic discs were hyperechogenic. The average AP diameter of lenses was 0.6175 cm and of the eye globes was 1.4789 cm. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance- The 2D ultrasonography give useful images for teaching and diagnostic purposes such as eye globe and lens lesions or diameter changes. The average of lens AP diameter in comparison with the globe was 0.4165. %U https://www.ivsajournals.com/article_3219_be5a41fcc0aa06529e3c757bc32b8496.pdf
