Abstract: A device for maintaining patency of a channel of an uveolymphatic region or a Schlemm's canal in a patient's eye may include a single elongated element configured for radial expansion of the channel of the uveolymphatic region or the Schlemm's canal when inserted into the channel, wherein the single elongated element is configured to follow an arc of a circumference of the channel, wherein the arc subtends an angle comprising a degree of arc greater than approximately 75 degrees.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention advantageously leverage the expansion, dilation or by-pass of the Schlemm's canal using adjustable reversible self-expanding eye stents (SES) or eye tension rings (ETRs) of desired sizes to control and improve aqueous flow throughout the range of the uveolymphatic canal. As such, some embodiments include tension ring(s) or cylinders that sits either inside or outside the Schlemm's canal wall and is at least partially within the canal and/or is partially or fully anchored, attached, adhered, or otherwise held in place with respect to the wall and/or elsewhere in the canal. The partial or complete expansion of the canal can be pre-configured based on pre-operative metrology of the Schlemm's canal to a customized and adjustable fit across the various zones within the uveolymphatic canal and based on the patient specific and evolving needs.
