摘要：
One example scleral prosthesis (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700) includes afirst free end and a second free end (102-104, 202-204, 302-304, 402-404, 502-504,602-604, 702-704), each wider than a middle portion of the scleral prosthesis.Multiple first portions (112a-112b, 208a-208b, 312a-312b, 406a-406b, 506a-506b,606a-606b, 706a-706b) form the first end of the scleral prosthesis. The firstportions are separated along at least half of a length of the scleral prosthesis.Multiple second portions (206a-206b, 310a-310b) may form the second end of thescleral prosthesis, and the second portions may be separated along less thana quarter of the length of the scleral prosthesis. An implantation device (900)can be used to facilitate implantation of a scleral prosthesis. The implantationdevice includes a first end portion (906) configured to be inserted into a scleraltunnel of an eye. The implantation device also includes a second end portion (902)configured to receive the scleral prosthesis. A rod (912) with a tapered and roundedend can be partially inserted into the first end portion of the implantation device.
