摘要：
Described herein is a treatment device for the drainage of fluid within an eye of a patient. The treatment device comprises a drainage tube and a flow system in fluid communication with the drainage tube. The drainage tube has a lumen and comprises an inlet tube portion and an outlet tube portion, and is configured to convey aqueous humor through the lumen from an anterior chamber of the eye to a suprachoroidal space of the eye. The inlet tube portion extends from the anterior chamber to the flow system, and the outlet tube portion is flexible to conform to the curvature of the suprachoroidal space and extends from the valve system to the suprachoroidal space. The flow system is configured to control intraocular pressure by throttling flow rates of the aqueous humor through the drainage tube.
