ABSTRACT
Focused, high-intensity therapeutic ultrasound was used to treat 69 selected patients with uncontrollably elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). This new technique selectively thins scleral collagen, and produces focal damage to the ciliary epithelium. These tissue modifications provide a reduction in IOP pressure to 25 mmHg or less in 83% of patients with a minimum three-month follow-up period.
