ABSTRACT:
A cornea endotheliam protection device (10) and method for maintaining the curvature of a cornea, for protecting the corneal endothelium and for maintaining anterior chamber pressure is provided. Cornea endothelial protection device (10) includes a plurality of cannulated needles (12) which are fixedly arrayed with respect to one another so that each of cannulated needle members (12) may be inserted through nonoptical portions of the cornea. A manifold (18) is connected to second ends (16) of cannulated needle members (12). A fluid source connected to manifold (18) allows the injection of fluid through cannulated needle members (12) and into the anterior chamber of an eye when cornea endothelial protection device (10) is inserted in position in a human eye.
