Abstract
An ophthalmic knife for treatment of various conditions including eye diseases, such as glaucoma, using minimally invasive surgical techniques is provided. The ophthalmic knife includes a shaft, a first platform connected to an end of the shaft and extending at an angle from a longitudinal axis of the shaft and a second platform connected to the shaft adjacent to the first platform. The first platform includes a first top surface extending from a first tip and a first bottom surface opposing the first top surface, and the second platform includes a second top surface extending from a second tip, and a second bottom surface opposing the second top surface. The first platform severs trabecular meshwork in a human eye as the trabecular meshwork advances over the first top surface of the first platform and the second bottom surface of the second platform engages but does not sever the trabecular meshwork.
