USG Orbit

You should get a USG orbit if you have sudden vision loss, new floaters or flashes of light, a shadow over your vision, or eye pain or bulging, especially when a dense cataract or bleeding blocks the doctor’s view. It is also recommended after eye injury, for suspected eye tumors, thyroid eye disease, and before cataract surgery.

No special preparation or fasting is required for a USG orbit. Avoid eye makeup on the day of the scan, and remove contact lenses beforehand. The scan is done through your closed eyelid using gel. Inform your doctor about any recent eye injury or surgery, and bring previous eye reports and glasses.

No, fasting is not required for a USG orbit. You can eat and drink normally and take your regular medicines before the scan. Simply avoid eye makeup, remove contact lenses beforehand, and inform your doctor about any recent eye injury or surgery. The scan is quick and painless.
