Abstract
The present invention provides devices and methods for non-invasively lowering intraocular pressure. In particular, some non-invasive intraocular pressure lowering devices of the invention comprise an oscillating element having a proximal end and a terminal probe. Typically, the terminal probe of said oscillating element comprises a substantially non-abrasive material that is adapted to be in contact with an ocular surface without causing any significant damage to the tissue and is shaped to conform to ocular surface at the limbal region. Devices also include an oscillating mechanism that is operatively connected to the proximal end of said oscillating tip such that when oscillating mechanism is in operation said oscillating tip moves axially without damaging ocular cells. Intraocular pressure lowering devices of the present invention are capable of non-invasively transmitting mechanical force to the tissue proximate to the limbal tissue.
