摘要： A lacrimal implant insertable into a lacrimal canaliculus, the implant comprising a therapeutic agent; characterised in that the implant comprises:an implant body (302, 1802), including first (304, 1804) and second (306, 1806) portions, the implant body extending from a proximal end (308, 1808) of the first portion to a distal (310, 1810) end of the second portion, the implant body being configured such that, when implanted in the lacrimal canaliculus, an angled intersection (316) exists between the proximal axis and the distal axis for biasing at least a portion of the implant body against at least a portion of the lacrimal canaliculus located at or more distal to a canalicular curvature; and wherein the second portion of the implant body includes a longitudinal length having a magnitude less than four times a longitudinal length of the first portion of the implant body.
