Here the patient presented with pain ,redness and decresed vision following cataract surgery.

HRSG shows high reflective membrane like  vitreous echoes .

Hrsg right eye shows dense homogeneous low level collection filling the posterior segment with edematous eye coat suggestive of pyogenic collection.

Hrsg left eye shows Retinal detachment-it  is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, 

leading to blindness.

Retinal detachment--Retinoschisis.

HRSG shows a typical echogenic peeled membrane in the posterior segment of the eye .

Hrsg shows dense homogeneous low level collection filling the posterior segment with edematous eye coat and thickened partially opaque lens displaced in posterior segment.(partially absorbed dislocated lens seen in the posterior segment)
