Abstract:
Intraocular pressure in an eye is reduced by delivering each of a high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) beam and a high resolution laser beam through the cornea, and the anterior chamber into the irido-corneal angle along an angled beam path. The OCT beam provides OCT imaging for diagnostic purposes and surgery planning and monitoring, while the laser beam is configured to modify tissue. A volume of ocular tissue within an outflow pathway in the irido-corneal angle is modified to reduce a pathway resistance present in one or more of the trabecular meshwork, the Schlemm's canal, and the one or more collector channels by applying the laser beam to ocular tissue defining the volume to thereby cause photo-disruptive interaction with the ocular tissue to reduce the pathway resistance or create a new outflow pathway.
