The methods and apparatus can be configured to apply energy to the sclera, cornea, and/or other regions of the eye in order to shrink collagenous tissue near Schlemm' s canal. Juxtacanalicular treatment of the sclera and/or cornea adjacent Schlemm' s canal can be used to dilate Schlemm' s canal, collector channels, and/or the Trabecular Meshwork. The methods and apparatus can be configured to apply energy to the sclera to generate scleral vacuoles in the sclera to improve uveoscleral outflow.
