Abstract
Devices and methods for treating ocular disorders are disclosed. One ocular implant, has a substantially straight, rigid, elongate body. The body has a self-trephinating distal portion that narrows toward a distal end, and at least one inlet that communicates with at least one inner lumen that communicates with a plurality of outlets. The lumen has a sufficient length to extend from an anterior chamber of an eye to a physiologic outflow pathway. An anchor member extends from the implant.

2. A system for treating an ocular disorder, comprising:
-
an implant configured to be implanted into eye tissue such that when in use the implant conducts fluid from an anterior chamber of an eye to a physiologic outflow pathway of the eye, the implant comprising an anchor member being located at a distal portion of an outflow end of the implant; and a pressure sensor coupled to the implant. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A system for treating an ocular disorder, comprising:
-
an implant configured to be implanted into eye tissue such that when in use the implant conducts fluid from an anterior chamber of an eye to an existing physiologic outflow pathway of the eye, the implant comprising a sensor; and a delivery device configured to advance the implant and the sensor from within the anterior chamber to an implantation site, the delivery device being configured to access the anterior chamber through an opening formed in the eye. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
