The invention relates to a permanent interpositional ophthalmological implant between the sclera and the uveal tis-sue. The implant comprises a thin uvea-compatible body () having a thickness (e) which is at least less than IO times the smallest of the two other dimensions of the body, the body of the implant comprising two opposing edges separated from one another along one of the two dimensions perpendicular to the thickness, and one of the edges, known as the front edge (), being curved in a concave manner away from body in a plane perpendicular to the thickness.

Interpositional ophthalmological implant

A method of treating glaucoma or other eye disease in a patient is provided. The method includes injecting an eye of the patient with a cohesive monophasic gel containing cross-linked hyaluronic acid or its salt. The injection can be under the scleral flap and/or conjunctiva of the eye, thereby creating and maintaining a conjunctival bleb, and/or the injection can be in the supra-scleral and/or supra-choroidal (sub-scleral) space of the eye thereby reducing the intraocular pressure.

Method for treating glaucoma

The invention relates to a method for automatic control of means for adjusting an apparatus for observing a subject in the sight of at least one person. It is characterized in that to command the displacement of the visual field (7) to a zone of the subject that the observer wishes to have appear as a zone of vision, relative to the reference system (R) associated with each optical system (4) at the time of its definition, the principle is altered in a variable manner as a function of the magnitude of the angle measured between the sight direction and the optical axis, which makes it possible to isolate in imaginary fashion, in the field of sight (14), at least one central field (15) having its axis approximately coincident with the optical axis (9) of the optical system (4) in question, in the form of a cone with its apex (S) substantially coincident with the center of the pupil of at least one eye of the observer and having its envelope at least partly contained in the visual field (7) and then to divide the field of sight (14) in imaginary fashion into approximately at least two coaxial volumes (16, 17, 18).
