Optical methods of studying the structures of the anterior segment of the eye, due to iris opacity, allow only to analyze the state of the lens within the natural or medically enlarged pupil width.

At the first stage, the main (19 patients with MS, 38 eyes) and the control (24 patients with myopia, 48 eyes) groups were formed for comparative evaluation. The formed groups were standardized according to the age of the patients and the axial length of the eye. At the second stage, patients with MS were divided into subgroups depending on the absence or presence of biomicroscopic signs of ectopia lentis (22 and 16 eyes, respectively). For UBM, an ultrasound linear sensor with a scanning frequency of 50 MHz was used (Aviso device, Quantel Medical, France).
