A device is disclosed for selectively improving and/or permanently ensuring the permeability for ocular aqueous humour through the trabecular formations into Schlemm's canal. A small tubular element is provided, whose wall material encloses a hollow duct that presents an open configuration on both ends along the longitudinal extension of the hollow duct, so that the size and the shape of the small tubular element correspond approximately to the internal contour of Schlemm's canal, and the wall material as well as the wall thickness are so selected that upon introduction into Schlemm's canal the small tubular element keeps the canal open and dilates adjacent trabecular formations. |
