Abstract
Methods of treating glaucoma are described including treatment of an eye with a liquid jet. The liquid jet can be generated by a laser-induced liquid jet instrument which is inserted through an incision in an eye. A stent can also be used, the stent having an inflow portion that is in fluid communication with an outflow portion. The stent can be inserted into the eye and transported from the incision through the anterior chamber of the eye toward the trabecular meshwork of the eye. In some embodiments, the stent can be advanced through the anterior chamber of the eye and provide fluid communication between the anterior chamber and Schlemm's canal. The method includes infusing fluid into an aqueous cavity and increasing the pressure of the fluid within the aqueous cavity.
