UBM allows noninvasive assessment of ocular morphogenesis in vivo and can be used to calculate relative growth rates of ocular structures.

UBM imaging provides a valuable means of rapidly and noninvasively characterizing ocular development in vivo. MicroCT scans have also provided intralumenal images of hyaloid vascular structure. This is the first study of vascular structure and function during the dynamic process of hyaloid vascular regression during mouse neonatal eye development and the first three-dimensional images of the complex hyaloid vascular structure.
