A method and clip for treating presbyopia and/or open angle glaucoma in which the sclera is supported or reinforced, while substantially maintaining the spacial relationship between the ciliary muscle and the lens. The method includes making an incision in the conjunctiva to gain access to the sclera overlying the ciliary muscle. The Tenon's capsules are moved laterally to expose the sclera, and opposed shallow pockets are made in the sclera. A clip, or series of clips, is provided having two opposed feet, which are received in the opposed pockets in the sclera. The Tenon's capsules are then slid over the clip and the conjunctiva is closed.

L'invention concerne une méthode et un clip pour traiter la presbytie et/ou un glaucome à angle ouvert, dans laquelle la sclérotique est soutenue ou renforcée, tandis que la relation spatiale entre le muscle ciliaire et le cristallin est sensiblement conservée. La méthode consiste à faire une incision dans la conjonctive pour avoir accès à la sclérotique sus-jacente au muscle ciliaire. Les capsules de Tenon sont latéralement déplacées pour exposer la sclérotique, et des poches peu profondes opposées sont pratiquées dans la sclérotique. Un clip, ou une série de clips, présentant deux pieds opposés, sont reçus dans des poches opposées de la sclére. Les capsules de Tenon sont ensuite glissées sur le clip et la conjonctive est fermée.
