Abstract
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.
