Abstract
An ocular device for placement under an eyelid that includes a plate with a back surface having at least one protrusion having a convex contact surface to contact the sclera of the eye and to provide an offset space. The plate can be connected to an elongated support member. The ocular device can deliver a material to an eye of a user, including, for example, a pharmaceutically active agent. A case for holding and dispensing an ocular device includes a well configured to retain fluid, a stabilizer, and a lid. The lid is connected to the well and rotatable between a position covering the well and a position with the well uncovered. The lid can have a port for adding fluid to the well, and a receiver, which can hold an ocular device, can project from the lid.
