ABSTRACT A prosthetic device for the relief of high intraocular pressures associated with glaucoma is shown. The device includes a limp reservoir adapted to be worn against or within the eye wall, a conduit leading from the reservoir to the anterior chamber of the eye, and means for communicating the reservoir with liquid-receptive tissue. Unidirectional flow means, such as a check valve, is employed to prevent back-flow of liquid into the anterior chamber. When the reservoir is periodically compressed, aqueous humor collected in the reservoir is expelled into liquid-receptive tissue where it is absorbed or is passed to the venous system.
