Methods, devices, and systems for inserting an implant in the cornea (105) of the eye, where the implant is a microshunt device (405, 515). The microshunt device may comprise an inlet (425) section comprising at least one lumen and at least one inlet opening; an outlet (420) section comprising at least one lumen that connects to at least one outlet opening; and where the microshunt device (405, 515) is configured to be implanted within the cornea (105) of an eye, where the microshunt device effects the flow of aqueous humor from an anterior chamber (160, 235) of the eye to the anterior surfaceof the cornea (410, 630), bypassing the trabecular meshwork (145, 240), thereby diverting aqueous humor from the anterior chamber (160, 235) to the surface of the cornea (410, 630). 用于在眼角膜(105)中插入植入物的方法、装置和系统，其中植入物是微分流器装置(405、515)。该微分流器装置可以包括入口(425)部和出口(420)部，其中入口(425)部包括至少个管腔和至少个入口开口；出口(420)部包括连接至至少个出口开口的至少个管腔；微分流器装置(405、515)被构造成植入眼角膜(105)中，微分流器装置使眼房水绕过小梁网(145、240)从眼睛的前房(160、235)至角膜(410、630)的前表面流动，从而使眼房水从前房(160、235)导流至角
