This disclosure relates generally to methods and devices for use in treating eye conditions with implantable drug delivery devices. One method includes introducing an implant into the suprachoroidal space, wherein the interior volume of the implant is plugged with a drug-release material comprising at least one active agent that elutes through at least one opening in the implant, wherein the drug-release material degrades from the interior volume of the implant over a period time.

A61F 11/00
US Classification:
606108
Abstract:
Described herein is a delivery device and methods for delivering an ocular implant into an eye. The delivery device includes a proximal handle portion; a distal delivery portion coupled to a distal end of the handle portion and configured to releasably hold an ocular implant and includes a sheath positioned axially over a guidewire; and a metering system configured to provide visual guidance regarding depth of advancement of an implant positioned on the guidewire into an anatomic region of the eye. Also disclosed is a device and method for loading an implant onto the delivery device.
Disclosed are devices, methods and systems for treatment of eye disease such as glaucoma. Implants are described herein that enhance aqueous flow through the normal outflow system of the eye with minimal to no complications. The implant can be reversibly deformed to a first shape, such as a generally linear shape conducive to insertion. Upon insertion, the implant can deform to a second shape, such as a generally non-linear shape conducive to retention within the eye. The shape also improves fluid flow from the anterior chamber and prevents or reduces clogging.

International Classification:
A61B 3/117 A61B 3/14
US Classification:
351206, 351219
Abstract:
Described herein is a hand-held gonioscopic imaging system that can be used to continuously display, capture and record images of the iridocorneal angle within the eye during implantation procedures. The system can be used, for example, during device implantation procedures for the treatment of glaucoma such that landmark identification continues during implantation. Intuitive real-time images viewed through the imaging systems described herein appear to the user to move in the same horizontal orientation as the instrument is actually being moved. The systems described herein also provide independent illumination sources for the camera and the surgical microscope that also have independent illumination controls.
