PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an accurate, safe, effective and inexpensive method of treating an ocular pathology by applying easily and safely high intensity focused ultrasound onto the eye to be treated and for a device thereof.SOLUTION: 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, The method includes 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 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 (1) where the proximal end of the eye ring (1) is suitable to be applied onto the eyeball and annular means (2,17) to generate an ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring (1). |
