Abstract
Intraocular implants and delivery instruments are disclosed for treating ophthalmic conditions and ocular disorders, such as glaucoma. The implants are configured to extend between the anterior chamber of the eye and a fluid outflow path or physiologic outflow pathway, such as Schlemm's canal, of the eye for enhancing outflow of aqueous from the anterior chamber so as to reduce intraocular pressure. The implants can have features for anchoring the implant into Schlemm's canal as well as preventing the walls of Schlemm's canal from closing the outlet of the implants. The delivery instruments can be steerable so as to make implantation easier. Additionally, the instruments can be configured to hold a plurality of implants so that multiple implants can be implanted through one incision without removing the instrument from the incision between serial implantations.
