Abstract:
The methods and apparatus disclosed herein can be used to treat glaucoma of the eye. 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.

Claim (Index 32):
The method of  claim 31 , wherein the first annular treatment pattern extends at least about 90 degrees around the optical axis of the eye and the second annular treatment pattern extends at least about 90 degrees around the optical axis of the eye.
