摘要：
The invention relates generally to medical devices and methods for the treatment of ocular disorders. An ocular implant having an inlet portion with a first anchor and an outlet portion with a second anchor is provided. The first anchor is configured to be positioned adjacent eye tissue, for example, within an anterior chamber of an eye, and the second anchor is configured to be positioned within a physiological outflow pathway of the eye. The implant, when implanted in the eye, is configured to conduct fluid from the anterior chamber to the physiological outflow pathway. Desirably, the second anchor is deployable and is configured to secure the implant within the physiological outflow pathway. Also provided is an ocular treatment method which involves implanting the implant to secure the implant within the physiological outflow pathway by deploying the second anchor.
