Abstract
An ophthalmic device and methods of its use can be applied for treatment of various conditions including eye diseases, such as glaucoma, using minimally invasive surgical techniques. The ophthalmic device can be used to cut the trabecular meshwork (TM) in the eye. The device tip provides entry into the Schlemm's canal and ramped portions elevate the TM under tension and guide it to lateral blades. An entire strip of TM can be removed without leaving TM leaflets behind and without causing collateral damage to adjacent tissues.
