Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004524871
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Energy is directed at the eye in a manner so as to create discrete heating within the eye to correct vision, and in particular, to correct presbyopia. The energy is high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy directed to a specific area which when treated with the energy results in a contraction of the treated area. The contraction creates increased tension on components connected to the lens which corrects and/or prevents presbyopia.
