AI Technical Summary
Existing intraocular stents face challenges with insertion and stability issues, as well as clotting and debris clogging, leading to disrupted aqueous humor flow and increased intraocular pressure, often requiring invasive surgical incisions for insertion.
Intraocular stents with a self-piercing harpoon and retention members that engage the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, providing stable retention and non-perpendicular fluid flow paths, reducing the need for separate incisions and minimizing clotting and debris buildup.
The solution ensures stable positioning and efficient aqueous humor drainage, maintaining optimal intraocular pressure by minimizing surgical invasiveness and reducing clotting, thereby preventing optic nerve deterioration and blindness.
