Abstract
An aqueous humor outflow device comprises an arcuate scaffold that extends continuously in a circumferential direction from a first end to a second end of the aqueous humor outflow device and has a cross-sectional area that allows the arcuate scaffold to fit within a conventional aqueous humor outflow pathway of a mammalian eye. The arcuate scaffold comprises a docking station or a port within which to retain an implant device, such as a drug eluting device or a drug delivery device.
