Also, the eye disease implant device may further include a body including a receiving space into which an end of the tube is inserted. In this case, the end of the tube may be inserted into the receiving space to be coupled to the body, or detached from the receiving space to be separated from the body. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An eye disease implant device comprising a tube comprising a hollow portion through which aqueous humor is drained, wherein one or more wings extending in a direction different from a longitudinal direction of the tube are formed on a portion of an outer surface of the tube, the one or more wings are formed by a support comprising a fixing hole into which the tube is inserted, and the support extends in a direction different from the longitudinal direction of the tube, the support is located at a position of the tube with a predetermined distance from one of terminal ends of the tube, such that both the terminal ends of the tube are exposed, a protrusion is formed on each of terminal ends of the support, the protrusion has a width greater than a width of the other portions of the support, such that the protrusion functions as an uneven portion for preventing a fixing thread from slipping, and the protrusion is formed in an orthogonal direction to the longitudinal direction of the tube and an extending direction of the one or more wings. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The eye disease implant device according to claim 1, wherein the one or more wings are foldably provided, and are unfolded while the tube is inserted into an anterior chamber of an eyeball by an injector to prevent the tube from being inserted beyond a certain point and fix a position of the tube. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The eye disease implant device according to claim 2, wherein each of the one or more wings has one of a straight bar shape, a tapered bar shape, a triangular shape, and a semicircular shape. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The eye disease implant device according to claim 1, wherein a marker with a color for checking a position of the tube in an eyeball protrudes from a portion of the outer surface of the tube. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The eye disease implant device according to claim 1, wherein the tube is formed in a curved shape with a certain curvature to prevent damage to corneal endothelium in an eyeball due to the tube. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The eye disease implant device according to claim 1, further comprising a wick insertable into the hollow portion of the tube to control an amount of aqueous humor drainage. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The eye disease implant device according to claim 6, wherein a diameter of the wick changes from a certain point.
