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.
聚焦高强度治疗性超声被用于治疗69例选定的眼压无法控制升高的患者。这项新技术能选择性地使巩膜胶原变薄,并对睫状体上皮造成局部损伤。在至少三个月的随访期内,这些组织改变使83%的患者眼压降至25毫米汞柱或更低。
