Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a reliable technique to calculate the length of pars plana in highly myopic eyes, where this parameter is significantly greater than that of emmetropic eyes. Trocars insertion for pars plana vitrectomy may be performed, in eyes with axial length >30 mm, in relative safety at a distance to limbus higher than 4 mm.
