A system for preparation of an implant and ab interno insertion of the implant into an eye including a handle having one or more actuators and an elongated shaft having an outer sheath and an elongate member positioned within a lumen of the tubular outer sheath. The system includes a recess sized for holding a patch of material fixed relative to the handle and a cutting member movable relative to the handle and to the recess. The cutting member cuts the patch of material into an implant as the cutting member moves towards a cutting configuration. The implant, once cut, is axially aligned with the lumen of the tubular outer sheath. The inner elongate member is movable relative to the tubular outer sheath to advance the implant into a deployment position in the lumen of the tubular outer sheath for delivery into the eye. Related devices and methods are provided.
An implant for minimally-invasive implantation into an eye, the implant being a piece of a biologically-derived material comprising corneal tissue or scleral tissue, the piece having a length between a first end and a second, opposite end of the piece that is greater than a width of the piece, the implant being contained within a distal end region of an elongate tubular member sized for insertion through a minimally-invasive penetration of the eye,
