Methods and devices are adapted for implanting into the eye. An incision is formed in the cornea of the eye and a shunt is inserted through the incision into the anterior chamber of the eye. The shunt includes a fluid passageway. The shunt is passed along a pathway from the anterior chamber through the scleral spur of the eye into the suprachoroidal space and positioned in a first position such that a first portion of the fluid passageway communicates with the anterior chamber and a second portion of the fluid passageway communicates with the suprachoroidal space to provide a fluid passageway between the suprachoroidal space and the anterior chamber.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs adaptés pour des greffes oculaires. Une incision est formée dans la cornée de l~AEil et une dérivation est insérée par le biais de l~incision dans la chambre antérieure de l~AEil. La dérivation comprend un passage fluide. La dérivation est communiquée le long d~un passage de la chambre antérieure par le biais de l~éperon scléral de l~AEil dans l~espace suprachoroïdal et placé dans la première position en sorte qu~une première portion du passage de liquide communique avec la chambre antérieure et une seconde communique avec l~espace suprachoroïdal pour fournir un passage fluide entre l~espace suprachoroïdal et la chambre antérieure.
