Patent

CA 2661352

A method of treating glaucoma is described herein. The method includes the steps of providing an ultrasonic device that emits ultrasonic energy, holding the ultrasonic instrument at a location external to the trabecular meshwork, transmitting the ultrasonic energy at a frequency to a desired location for a predetermined time, dislodging material built up in the trabecular meshwork, and generating heat that initiates biochemical changes in the eye.

L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement du glaucome. Le procédé comporte les étapes consistant à fournir un dispositif à ultrasons qui émet une énergie ultrasonore, à maintenir l'instrument à ultrasons au niveau d'un emplacement externe au trabéculum cornéoscléral, à transmettre l'énergie ultrasonore vers un emplacement souhaité pendant une durée et à une fréquence prédéterminée, à déplacer un matériau développé dans le trabéculum cornéoscléral, et à générer de la chaleur qui initie des changements biochimiques dans l'AEil.
