ABSTRACT

@#Ultrasound cycloplasty(UCP)procedure using high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)is a new non-invasive glaucoma treatment based on miniaturized transducers. In recent years, the safety and efficacy of UCP on various types of glaucoma have been well verified, and it has shown broad application prospects in the treatment of glaucoma. This article collects and reviews the relevant literature on glaucoma treatment by UCP, and summarizes the information on the development of equipment, composition and operation, treatment mechanisms, indications, efficacy and safety, with the purpose to provide relevant basis for clinical applications and future research.
