1. A method of treating an ocular disorder, comprising:
providing an implant delivery apparatus comprising a plurality of implants;
advancing said implant delivery apparatus into an anterior chamber of an eye to locate a distal end of said implant delivery apparatus near a target site;
using a driving member to (i) isolate a first implant and drive the isolated implant distally relative to the other implants and (ii) implant said first implant in eye tissue at said target site; and
implanting a second implant in eye tissue at another target site without removing the implant delivery apparatus from the eye.
