Ultrasound treatment

This is a new one I have not heard of before. Stressing the ciliary body with ultrasound can reduce eye pressures by up to 40%, and endure for up to two years.

Hello, Thank you for sharing the article. Ultrasound research is still very much ongoing and is in the very early stages, and as Gwynn Williams mentioned, it comes with risks of serious side effects . I have only spoken to one person who has tried the Ultrasound in France, who told me it would have had to be an ongoing treatment, and a very expensive one at that. They stopped as the benefits were not permanent.

There are much safer option, such as laser which also lasts between 2-3 years and sometimes even longer.
