摘要

device for placement in the sclera of an eye, method for accessing the supracoroidal space of an eye, for accessing the subretinal space of an eye and for placing a hole within a scleral tract in one eye. The present invention relates to devices for accessing the supracoroidal or subretinal space of an eye through a minimally invasive transconjunctival approach. The devices may also be used after partial dissection, for example, after dissecting the outer scleral layer of the eye, and using the device within the dissection to access the supracoroidal or subretinal space.
