Embodiment Construction
[0136]The present inventions generally relate to methods for treating closed angle glaucoma that involve using a deployment device that is configured to both re-open a partially or completely closed anterior chamber angle and deploy an intraocular shunt. In certain aspects, some methods involve inserting into an eye a deployment device configured to hold an intraocular shunt, using the device to re-open an at least partially closed anterior chamber angle of an eye, and deploying the shunt from the device.
[0137]FIG. 1 provides a schematic diagram of the general anatomy of the eye. An anterior aspect of the anterior chamber 1 of the eye is the cornea 2, and a posterior aspect of the anterior chamber 1 of the eye is the iris 4. Beneath the iris 4 is the lens 5. The anterior chamber 1 is filled with aqueous humor 3. The aqueous humor 3 drains into a space(s) 6 below the conjunctiva 7 through the trabecular meshwork (not shown in detail) of the sclera 8. The aqueous humor is drained from...
