ABSTRACT:
A method is described herein for implanting in the cornea and limbal area a device partially embedded and partially extending anteriorly, a preferred embodiment comprising one or more loops of small sized porous ropes, cords, bands or hollow tubes, which device has one end or section thereof extending beyond the exterior surface of the cornea and limbal area so that aqueous humor may be exited from the anterior chamber in the eye to relieve intraocular pressure and thereby avoid or reduce the effects of glaucoma.
