<p>A method and clip (40) for treating presbyopia and/or open angle glaucoma in which the sclera (20) is supported or reinforced, while substantially maintaining the spacial relationship between the ciliary muscle (16) and the lens (14). The method includes making incision in the conjuctivea to gain access to the sclera (20) overlying the ciliary muscle (16). The Tenon s capsules (28) are moved laterally to expose the sclera (20), and the sclera (20) is extended outwardly. A clip (40), or series of clips, is provided having two closeable arms for engaging the outwardly-extended sclera (20) so as to grasp a portion of the sclera (20), and then the Tenon s capsules are slid over the clip (40) and the conjunctiva is closed.</p> |
