LAGRIMAL IMPLANTS AND RELATED METHODS. |
abstract |
Tear implants (300) are described providing safe retention within the tear point of an eye. Tear implants may comprise an implant body (302) configured to at least make a partial insertion through the tear point and into a tear canaliculus. The implanted body may include a deformable retention structure (308) that can be configured to substantially encapsulate an expandable retention element. In some examples, the expandable retention element may include a fluid absorption material, which may be exposed to the fluid such as through a fluid permeable retainer or fluid permeable opening (320). As the fluid absorption material retains the fluid (i.e., after accepting the fluid in the retention structure), its size increases and its shape may change to push one or more portions of the retention structure outward. , such as against a wall of the tear canaliculus, thereby safely retaining the tear implant within the point. |
