摘要:
The invention provides for novel glaucoma surgical devices comprising a microfluidic meshwork. The meshwork comprises interconnected, cellular-dimensioned microfluidic channels. Excess fluid in the eye can be drained and diffused through the microfluidic channels. The meshwork is porous and highly flexible, affording mechanical compliance similar to that of eye tissue. The meshwork minimizes foreign body reactions to the implant, decreasing fibrosis and capsule formation.
