A device for treatment of an ocular pathology characterized in that it comprises at least one eye ring () wherein the proximal end of said eye ring () is suitable to be applied onto the glove and means () to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring (), said means to generate ultrasound beam presenting a concave segment shape conformed along a single curvature corresponding to a single direction wherein the concavity is designed to be tuned towards the eyeglobe.

High intensity focused ultrasound device with a concave segment shaped transducers for treatment of ocular pathology

A device for treatment of an ocular pathology characterized in that it comprises at least one eye ring () wherein the proximal end of said eye ring () is suitable to be applied onto the globe and a generator () to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring (), the generator to generate ultrasound beam presenting a concave segment shape conformed along a single curvature corresponding to a single direction wherein the concavity is designed to be tuned towards the eyeglobe.

High intensity focused ultrasound device with a concave segment shaped transducer for eye treatment

A method of treating an ocular pathology by generating high intensity focused ultrasound onto at least one eye's area, the 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, and generating high intensity focused ultrasound energy onto the segment to treat 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 wherein the proximal end of the eye ring is suitable to be applied onto the globe and a high intensity focused ultrasound beam generator to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring capable of treating the whole circumference of the eye in one step.

High intensity focused ultrasound device and method for ocular pathology treatment

The present invention relates to a device for treatment of an ocular pathology, the device comprising at least one eye ring wherein the proximal end of said eye ring is suitable to be applied onto the globe and means to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring, said means to generate ultrasound beam presenting a concave segment shape conformed along a single curvature corresponding to a single direction wherein the concavity is designed to be tuned towards the eyeglobe.
