Abstract: A device for delivering an active agent to target tissue at a site that includes a bodily fluid includes a body having a first exterior surface including a first section having a local, discrete recessed area formed in the body for holding the active agent. The body includes a surface flow feature in the form of a canal that is formed in the body and is recessed relative to the exterior surface. The surface flow feature interfaces with the first section and the local recessed area and is configured so as to guide or modify flow of the bodily fluid relative to the body such that fluid communication is provided between the bodily fluid and the local recessed area. The local recessed area is recessed relative to at least a portion of the canal.

Abstract: An ocular device for insertion into an eye is provided and includes a body having an anterior surface and a posterior surface for placement on one of superior sclera and inferior sclera of the eye. The posterior surface is defined by a base curve that is substantially identical to a radius of curvature of the one of the superior sclera and inferior sclera of the eye. In one embodiment, the ocular device serves as an ocular drug delivery system and contains an active pharmaceutical agent, a lubricant, etc. In a second embodiment the ocular device can be constructed in such a manner to treat a wide variety of ocular conditions and diseases.
