A method and system for deploying an ocular implant into Schlemms canal of an eye. The method includes the steps of inserting a distal end of a cannula through a cornea of the eye and into an anterior chamber of the eye, the cannula having a distal opening extending from the distal end and through a side wall, a curved distal portion and a curved intermediate portion placing the distal opening of the cannula into fluid communication with Schlemms canal advancing the ocular implant distally through the cannula with a delivery tool engaged with the ocular implant, a proximal portion of the ocular implant engaging the delivery tool proximal to a distal portion of the delivery tool and disengaging the ocular implant and the delivery tool when the proximal portion of the ocular implant reaches the cannula distal opening.
