Abstract
An apparatus includes a laser source and a scanner. The laser source is configured to generate electromagnetic radiation. The scanner scans at least part of a limbal area of an eye with the electromagnetic radiation generated by the laser source, thereby directing the electromagnetic radiation through an entire thickness of the limbal area of the eye without any contact with the eye and irradiating one or more regions of a trabecular meshwork of the eye with the electromagnetic radiation.
