Abstract:
1. A single-handed, single-operator, ab-interno method for introducing viscoelastic fluid into Schlemm's canal comprising: advancing a cannula at least partially through the anterior chamber of the eye and into Schlemm's canal, wherein the cannula is coupled to a handle of a single-handed, single-operator controlled device, a portion of the handle defining a fluid reservoir and comprising a drive assembly configured to advance a flexible slidable conduit from the cannula and to deliver a volume of viscoelastic fluid; advancing the flexible slidable conduit from the cannula into Schlemm's canal along an arc of the canal; and delivering the volume of viscoelastic fluid from the reservoir into Schlemm's canal through the flexible slidable conduit, wherein the volume of viscoelastic fluid delivered corresponds to the length the flexible conduit has been advanced along the arc.
