Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system of treating intraocular pressure. Laser light is directed to the ciliary region of the target eye. The light stimulates the ciliary region and ablates debris lodged therein. An immune response may be triggered by the stimulation of the ciliary body. Intraocular pressure is reduced by the increase in aqueous flow from the anterior chamber in the eye permitted by the resultant removal of debris blocking the uveo-scleral outflow pathway.

Les modes de réalisation de l'invention offrent une méthode et un système de traitement de la pression intraoculaire. On dirige de la lumière laser sur la zone ciliaire de l'oeil cible. La lumière stimule la zone ciliaire et enlève par ablation les débris qui y sont logés. Il est possible de déclencher une réponse immunitaire par stimulation du corps ciliaire. La pression intraoculaire est réduite grâce à l'augmentation du flux aqueux en provenance de la chambre antérieure de l'oeil rendue possible par l'élimination ainsi obtenue des débris qui bloquent la voie d'écoulement uvéo-sclérale.
