Abstract:
A selectable IOP valve for implantation in an eye of a patient controls IOP and/or bleb pressure. The valve includes a drainage tube configured to convey aqueous from an anterior chamber of an eye and includes a selectable flow control valve in fluid communication with the drainage tube and configured to control flow rates of the aqueous. The valve system includes a plurality of flow control pathways arranged to operate in parallel with each other, each of the flow control pathways being in communication with an entry port to the valve system. A flow control mechanism controls aqueous flow through the pathways. Methods and systems are also disclosed.
