  • Exploratory probes intended mainly to keep open a channel between the anterior chamber of the eye and the subconjunctival space for drainage of fluid. These devices typically consist of slender flexible metallic or plastic cylinders that can be passed through the trabeculum. They may be attached to a handle at the proximal end. The probe is threaded into the main collector channel (Schlemm\'s canal) and is pushed through into the front chamber of the eye. Canaloplasty exploratory probes are intended to facilitate drainage of the aqueous humor in patients suffering from glaucoma.
