Comparison of Cytokines Profile in Aqueous Humor and Tear Before and After UCP Treatment

All procedures were performed using the EyeOP1 device . The coupling cone was placed and adjusted on the centre of the patient's eye by visualising an equal white scleral ring surrounding the cornea. The coupling cone was kept in place via vacuum suction activated using a foot pedal and was then filled with a balanced salt solution to allow ultrasound transmission. The transducers were automatically activated at a frequency of 21 MHz and an acoustic power of 2.45 W, with an 8-s duration for each sector and a 20-s pause between each treatment to allow complete evacuation of heat.
