CA 2428233

Energy is directed at the eye in a manner so as to create discrete heating within the eye to correct vision, and in particular, to correct presbyopia. The energy is high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy directed to a specific area which when treated with the energy results in a contraction of the treated area. The contraction creates increased tension on components connected to the lens which corrects and/or prevents presbyopia.

Selon l'invention de l'énergie est dirigée sur l'oeil de manière à créer un chauffage discret dans celui-ci afin de corriger la vue, notamment, la presbytie. Cette énergie est de l'énergie ultrasonore focalisée à haute intensité (HIFU) dirigée sur une zone spécifique qui se contracte lorsqu'elle est traitée au moyen de cette énergie. Cette contraction crée une plus grande tension sur les composantes reliées au cristallin qui corrige et/ou prévient la presbytie.
