Claim:
1. An ocular implant adapted to reside at least partially in a portion of Schlemm's canal of a human eye, the implant comprising: a body configured to extend within the Schlemm's canal, the body having a curved volume, a large radius side and a short radius side, wherein a radius of the short radius side is less than a radius of the large radius side, the body having a circumferential extent within the curved volume that varies along the length of the body between sections having a lesser circumferential extent and sections having a greater circumferential extent, one of the sections of lesser circumferential extent being disposed at a distal end of the body, the body defining a channel extending longitudinally through the body to and through the distal end of the body, the channel having an open side disposed on the large radius side at one of the sections of lesser circumferential extent and an adjacent section of greater circumferential extent and a plurality of openings along the length of the body on the short radius side, the openings being in fluid communication with the channel; an inlet portion configured to be disposed in an anterior chamber of the eye when the body is in the Schlemm's canal, the inlet portion disposed on a proximal end of the body in fluid communication with the channel, the inlet portion defining one or more openings adapted to be in fluid communication with the anterior chamber of the eye when the body is disposed in the Schlemm's canal; and a distally facing sloped surface at the distal end of the body formed by edges of one of the sections of lesser circumferential extent at the distal end of the body and edges of a section of greater circumferential extent proximal to the one section of lesser circumferential extent at the distal end of the body.
