Safety levels for exposure of cornea and lens to very high-frequency ultrasound

Very high‐frequency (50‐MHz) ultrasound is widely used for imaging the anterior segment of the eye. Our aim was to determine whether exposures to ultrasound at and above those used in diagnostic imaging systems might cause bioeffects in ocular tissues. We characterized the output parameters of a pol...
