Abstract

The invention generally relates to devices and methods for implanting a shunt in the suprachoroidal space of an eye. In certain aspects, devices of the invention include a housing, a deployment mechanism at least partially disposed within the housing, and a flexible hollow shaft coupled to the deployment mechanism, in which the shaft holds an intraocular shunt, and is configured to self-guide the shunt along a scleral spur of an eye as the shunt is deployed from the shaft. Such a device may be inserted into an eye and used to deploy a shunt within the eye such that a proximal portion of the shunt receives fluid from an anterior chamber of an eye and a distal portion of the shunt directs the fluid to the suprachoroidal space.
