Abstract: Glaucoma can be treated by implanting an intraocular shunt into the eye. Such procedures can employ various deployment devices, shunts, and implantation techniques. A method of treating glaucoma can be performed by a clinician, in which a hollow needle is inserted into an eye through the sclera. The hollow needle can carry an intraocular shunt. Once inserted and properly positioned, the clinician can release the shunt from the needle such that the shunt conducts fluid away from the anterior chamber of the eye.
