Abstract: The disclosure provides an ophthalmic implant for reducing intraocular pressure in an eye tissue. The implant may include a proximal portion including a fluid channel. The implant may also include a distal portion including a filtration capsule forming member. The filtration capsule forming member may include at least one flat surface, and configured to form a cylindrical filtration capsule from the eye tissue surrounding the filtration capsule forming member when implanted. The fluid channel is configured to be fluidly connected to the cylindrical filtration capsule.

Abstract: An implant may be used for implantation into tissue of a body. The implant includes an elongated conduit and a loop. The elongated conduit has an interior passageway for conducting fluid. The loop has an interior circumference with a fluid conducting channel formed therein. The channel is interconnected with the interior passageway for delivery of fluid between the channel and the interior passageway.
