This invention comprises a flexible ocular device for implantation into
the eye formed of a biocompatible elastomeric material, foldable to a
diameter of 1.5 mm or less, comprising a fluid drainage tube having at
one end a foldable plate adapted to locate the device on the inner
surface of the sclera in a suprachoroidal space formed by cyclodialysis,
said drainage tube opening onto the disc at one end and opening to the
anterior chamber when implanted into the eye at its other end, so as to
provide aqueous pressure regulation. Also provided are methods for the
treatment of glaucoma utilising the flexible ocular device, and an ocular
pressure spike shunt.
