Ultrasonic apparatus provided with ultrasonic beam generating means exhibiting the shape of a concave portion having a single curvature

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of treating an ocular pathology by generating high intensity focused ultrasound onto at least one eye's area, said method comprises at least the following steps of: - positioning onto the eye a device capable of directing high intensity focused ultrasound onto at least one annular segment, - generating high intensity focused ultrasound energy onto said segment to destroy at least one annular segment in the eye. Another embodiment of the invention concerns a device for treatment of an ocular pathology comprising at least one eye ring (1) wherein the proximal end of said eye ring (1) is suitable to be applied onto the globe and means (2,17) to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring (1).
