Methods, devices, and systems for inserting an implant in the cornea ( 105 ) of the eye, where the implant is a microshunt device ( 405,515 ). The microshunt device may comprise an inlet ( 425 ) section comprising at least one lumen and at least one inlet opening; an outlet ( 420 ) section comprising at least one lumen that connects to at least one outlet opening; and where the microshunt device ( 405,515 ) is configured to be implanted within the cornea ( 105 ) of an eye, where the microshunt device effects the flow of aqueous humor from an anterior chamber ( 160,235 ) of the eye to the anterior surface of the cornea ( 410,630 ), bypassing the trabecular meshwork ( 145,240 ), thereby diverting aqueous humor from the anterior chamber ( 160,235 ) to the surface of the cornea ( 410,630 ). |
