    TULIP is a noninvasive ultrasound platform designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) without causing tissue destruction.

  • 2

    Early clinical evaluations indicate TULIP can reduce IOP by approximately 25.8% with sustained effects over time.

  • 3

    The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting under topical anesthesia and is well tolerated by patients.

  • 4

    TULIP operates at low acoustic intensities, avoiding thermal injury and focusing on physiologic modulation of aqueous humor dynamics.

  • 5

    Preliminary findings suggest TULIP does not adversely affect retinal structure and may influence neuroautonomic pathways.
