ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for draining aqueous humor from an eye comprises a drainage tube and a drainage body. The drainage tube drains aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye, and the drainage body distributes drained aqueous humor over a relatively large area. The drainage tube is firmly fixed to the drainage body, and opens directly on to a surface of the drainage body. The drainage body is constituted by a silicone rubber band having a width of at least 5 mm and a length which is sufficient for the band to pass around, and to be sutured to, the sclera of the eye in an equatorial position. The device is provided with a pressure gradient limiting valve having a predetermined opening pressure.
