Abstract
The present invention generally relates to systems for deploying intraocular shunts without the use of an optical apparatus that contacts an eye, such as a goniolens. In certain embodiments, systems of the invention include a locking mechanism, and a device configured to hold and deploy an intraocular shunt, in which a distal portion of the device is movable within a proximal portion of the device and the distal portion of the device is configured to mate with the locking mechanism to prevent movement of the distal portion when the locking mechanism is engaged.
