  • METHOD OF POSITIONING AN INTRAOCULAR DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150245946
    Abstract: A method of positioning an intraocular device at an intraocular position is provided. The method comprises providing a first and a second element selected such that a magnetic force attracts the first element and the second element to each other. The method also comprises positioning the first element in a suprachoroidal space of an eye and positioning the intraocular device in an intraocular space at a portion of tissue of the eye. The method further comprises positioning the second element in the intraocular space of the eye.
