The results of high-frequency grayscale B-scan, color Doppler imaging (CDI) and ultrasonic density measurement or echodensitometry (ED) of eyelids and periorbital tissues were presented. 48 healthy volunteers (96 eyes) aged from 17 to 46 years were enrolled. Echographic anatomy of eyelid layers, i.e. skin, orbicularis oculi muscle, tarsus, and Retro-Orbicularis Oculi Fat (ROOF), is described in details. Thickness and echodensitometry values for all layers were provided. Complex ultrasound examination should be performed prior to reconstructive and plastic surgery of eyelids in order to facilitate the choice of surgical tactics.
