Abstract

The invention relates generally medical devices and methods for the treatment of glaucoma in an animal eye (10) and, more particularly, to medical devices and methods for treating tissue of the trabecular meshwork (21) and /or Schlemm's canal (22) of the eye (10) to restore or rejuvenate a portion or all of the normal physiological function of directing aqueous outflow for maintaining a normal intraocular pressure in the eye (10).
