ABSTRACT:
A device is made up of one piece, or two independent pieces, that can be linked with each other to make a unit. The anterior end of a drainage tube is introduced 2 mm into the anterior chamber of the eye while the rear end of the tube is placed in the scleral lake. A cover is a plane body slight in height and oval or oblong in format that is provided with four parallel cuts that create two girths. The said girths are used to retain the drainage tube below the cover, thus creating a curvature in it to form a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface.
