Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An intraocular device for treating glaucoma comprising a treatment probe comprising a distal end region and a proximal end region, the distal end region including a distal end effector sized to penetrate the trabecular meshwork; an outer sheath surrounding at least the proximal end region of the treatment probe; and a drive mechanism operatively coupled to a proximal end of the treatment probe and configured to cause oscillatory movement of the proximal end of the treatment probe to vibrate the distal end effector and agitate intraocular tissue in contact with the distal end effector. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.
