A tissue barrier 410, for example of titanium alloy, for insertion into an incision in the sclera of the eye for the treatment of conditions such as presbyopia, comprises an elongate insert which is provided with a longitudinally extending flange 414, 416 at each end to prevent the barrier from being ejected from the incision. Each flange 414, 416 is preferably about half the height of the central portion 412 of the insert. Preferably, the flanges are of unequal length. The flanges may be circular or rectangular in cross-section. The central portion 412 may be thicker than the flanges transversely to the longitudinal axis of the insert. The outer ends of the flanges may be chamfered. |
