摘要:
The present disclosure relates to ultrasound imaging and treatment of an eye and in particular directed to an apparatus and method for reducing intraocular pressure by 1) ablating the ciliary process which is the structure responsible for production of aqueous humor and 2) by vibrating the trabecular mesh to stimulate better drainage of fluid through the trabecular mesh and out of the eye. The present disclosure describes an apparatus and method for forming a high precision image of the eye wherein the resolution is sufficient to image, for example, ciliary body and region around the trabecular mesh. The present disclosure further discloses an imaging transducer and an irradiating therapeutic transducer that can be mounted such that they are movable between a plurality of positions.
