Eye injuries caused by high intensity macro and micro focused ultrasound treatment: a case report
Excessive ultrasonic energy generated by HIFU can cause protein denaturation, leading to conditions such as traumatic cataract, visual impairment, injuries to the iris and conjunctiva when applied to the eyes. We recommend that individuals undergoing cosmetic treatment in the periorbital region should be highly aware of the possible ocular side effects.
