Ocular implant support devices and methods of use

A system comprising:

• an implantable miniature telescope (IMT) comprising an outer carrier and an optical element located within the outer carrier;
• and
• an implantable scleral suspension device for use with the implantable miniature telescope, the device comprising:
• an elastic support structure comprising:
• an outer perimeter wall having an outer perimeter surface extending between an anterior surface of the support structure and a posterior surface of the support structure;
• and
• a central aperture extending through the support structure between the anterior surface of the support structure and the posterior surface of the support structure, the central aperture defined by an inner perimeter surface of the support structure;
• and
• a plurality of fixation arms extending outward from the outer perimeter surface of the support structure, each arm of the plurality of fixation arms is configured for sutureless scleral fixation and to be placed under tension to locate and stabilize the device within an eye,
• wherein a thickness of the support structure along the inner perimeter surface defining the central aperture is greater than a thickness of the support structure near the outer perimeter surface.
