Abstract
Apparatus and non-invasive method for focal transcleral destruction of living human eye tissue. The apparatus includes a pair of conical-shaped probes, each probe filled with an ionic probe solution and having therein an electrode connected to a constant current supply. The method includes lowering the narrow aperture end of the probes onto the conjunctiva overlying the target tissue, each probe being approximately 90.degree. apart from the other about the eye surface. The probes of the invention have opposite polarity to enable transfer of ions between the probes. Electrodes are of appropriate conductive materials.
