Abstract
Disclosed are devices, methods and systems for treatment of eye disease, including open angle glaucoma and narrow angle glaucoma. Implants are described herein that create a directed flow field, such as between the anterior chamber and either the supraciliary space or suprachoroidal space. In addition, the implant can include a variety of features, including extruded features, such as rings and pegs, which can assist in preventing ocular tissue from collapsing onto the implant and occluding fluid pathways.
