An ophthalmic microsurgical system is described for treatment of eye diseases, such as glaucoma, using minimally invasive surgical techniques. The microsurgical system includes a thin walled outer sheath microcannula 1 slidably disposed about an inner member 4, which extends slightly beyond the distal end of the microcannula 1. The inner member 4 may be straight or curved and may optionally include a surgical instrument and/or a sensor or signaling beacon. The microsurgical system is used in a surgical procedure for opening Schlemm's Canal to provide drainage of aqueous fluid in order to relieve excess intraocular that results from glaucoma an other diseases of the eye.

L'invention concerne un système microchirurgical ophtalmique destiné au traitement de maladies des yeux, telles que le glaucome, et mettant en oeuvre des techniques chirurgicales invasives minimales. Le système microchirurgical comprend une micro-canule (1) de manchon externe à paroi mince disposée de manière coulissante autour d'un élément interne (4) s'étendant de manière coulissante au-delà de l'extrémité distale de la micro-canule (1). L'élément interne (4) peut être rectiligne ou incurvé et peut éventuellement comprendre un instrument chirurgical et/ou un capteur et/ou une balise de signalisation. Le système microchirurgical est utilisé dans une intervention chirurgicale destinée à ouvrir le canal de Schlemm, afin de drainer un fluide aqueux, de manière à diminuer un excès de pression intraoculaire engendré par un glaucome ou d'autres maladies des yeux.
