Shunt devices and a method for continuously decompressing elevated intraocular pressure in eyes affected by glaucoma by diverting excess aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye into Schlemm's canal where post-operative patency can be maintained with an indwelling shunt device which surgically connects the canal with the anterior chamber. The shunt devices provide uni- or bi-directional flow of aqueous humor into Schlemm's canal.

Shunt device and method for treating glaucoma

The present invention provides a shunt for the flow of aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye to Schlemm's canal. The device comprises at least one lumen and optionally has at least one anchor extending from the proximal portion within the anterior chamber to assist in placement and anchoring of the device in the correct anatomic position.

The present invention provides a device and method for monitoring the flow of aqueous humor within the eye. The invention provides that the aqueous flow rate and/or pattern within the anatomical structures of the eye can be determined by monitoring a traceable component. Such determination provides diagnostic indications of the degree and location of ocular disease associated with aqueous outflow, such as glaucoma, and can further provide post-treatment indications of effectiveness.

Device and method for monitoring aqueous flow within the eye

Stent devices and a method for continuously facilitating the flow of aqueous humor through Schlemm's canal where post-operative patency can be maintained with an indwelling stent device. The stent devices provide uni- or bi-directional flow of aqueous humor within and through Schlemm's canal.

Stent device and method for treating glaucoma

Catheter devices and methods for treating glaucoma and other eye diseases by expandable dilatation of Schlemm's canal and/or direct injection of medications into Schlemm's canal.
