20120123440METHODS FOR DEPLOYING AN INTRAOCULAR SHUNT FROM A DEPLOYMENT DEVICE AND INTO AN EYE - The invention generally relates to methods for using an intraocular shunt deployment device to deploy an intraocular shunt from the device and into an eye.05-17-2012
20120123439INTRAOCULAR SHUNT DEPLOYMENT DEVICES - The invention generally relates to devices for deploying an intraocular shunt within an eye. In certain embodiments, devices of the invention include a housing, a deployment mechanism at least partially disposed within the housing, and a hollow shaft coupled to the deployment mechanism, in which the shaft is configured to hold an intraocular shunt, and in which rotation of the deployment mechanism results in deployment of the shunt.05-17-2012
20120123438METHODS FOR INTRA-TENON'S SHUNT PLACEMENT - The present invention generally relates to the reduction of intraocular pressure, and in particular, to methods for treating glaucoma by insertion of an intraocular shunt in the eye such that it forms a drainage pathway between the anterior chamber and the intra-Tenon's space.05-17-2012
20120123437METHODS FOR TREATING CLOSED ANGLE GLAUCOMA - The present invention generally relates to methods for treating closed angle glaucoma. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention 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.05-17-2012
20120123436DEVICES FOR DEPLOYING INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to devices for deploying intraocular shunts without the use of an optical apparatus that contacts an eye, such as a goniolens. In certain embodiments, devices of the invention include a housing, a deployment mechanism at least partially disposed within the housing, and a hollow shaft coupled inside the housing to the deployment mechanism, in which the shaft is configured to hold an intraocular shunt, and the device includes an insertion configuration and a deployment configuration and the insertion configuration involves the shaft being fully disposed within the housing.05-17-2012
20120123435DEVICES FOR DEPLOYING INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to devices for deploying intraocular shunts without the use of an optical apparatus that contacts an eye, such as a goniolens. In certain embodiments, devices of the invention include a housing, in which a distal end of the housing includes a protrusion, a deployment mechanism at least partially disposed within the housing, and a hollow shaft coupled to the deployment mechanism, in which the shaft is configured to hold an intraocular shunt.05-17-2012
20120123434DEVICES FOR DEPLOYING INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to devices for deploying intraocular shunts without the use of an optical apparatus that contacts an eye, such as a goniolens. In certain embodiments, devices of the invention include a housing including an angled distal end, a deployment mechanism at least partially disposed within the housing, and a hollow shaft coupled to the deployment mechanism, in which the shaft is configured to hold an intraocular shunt.05-17-2012
20120123433METHODS FOR DEPLOYING INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to methods for deploying intraocular shunts without the use of an optical apparatus that contacts an eye, such as a goniolens. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve inserting into an eye a deployment device configured to hold an intraocular shunt, determining that a distal portion of the device is properly positioned within the eye without use of an optical apparatus that contacts the eye, and deploying the shunt from the device.05-17-2012
20120123430DEVICES FOR DEPLOYING INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to devices for deploying intraocular shunts without the use of an optical apparatus that contacts an eye, such as a goniolens. In certain embodiments, devices of the invention include a housing including a proximal portion and a distal portion, in which the distal portion is movable within the proximal portion, a deployment mechanism at least partially disposed within the housing, and a hollow shaft coupled to the deployment mechanism, in which the shaft is configured to hold an intraocular shunt.05-17-2012
20120123317METHODS FOR IMPLANATION OF GLAUCOMA SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to the reduction of intraocular pressure, and in particular, to improved methods for implanting an intraocular shunt in the eye to treat glaucoma. The methods provide for implantation of an intraocular shunt while minimizing the risk of severe eye trauma due to the interaction between the deployment device and the surrounding eye tissue.05-17-2012
20120123316INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS FOR PLACEMENT IN THE INTRA-TENON'S SPACE - The present invention generally relates to intraocular shunts, and in particular, to intraocular shunts configured to form a drainage pathway between the anterior chamber and the intra-Tenon's space.05-17-2012
20120123315INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to different types of intraocular shunts.05-17-2012
