Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for draining aqueous humor from an eye for reducing intraocular pressure. The draining apparatus comprises a tube defining a passage for fluid flow between an inlet end and an outlet end. An outlet assembly contacts the conjunctival layer externally of the eyeball. The outlet assembly comprises a housing in fluid communication with the outlet end of the tube and having an aperture for allowing egress of aqueous humor onto the external ocular surface. A resistive component is disposed in the housing for providing resistance to a flow of aqueous humor. A pair of tabs project outwardly and are adapted to be disposed subconjunctivally for securing the draining apparatus relative to the eyeball.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the filtration element is disposed upstream of the removable cartridge such that the fluid flows from the tube to filter and then flows from the filter to the removable cartridge.
