1. A method of creating an opening in the trabecular meshwork of an eye of a patient, comprising:

  • producing ultrashort laser pulses whose fundamental wavelength is in the range of infrared through visible light;

    propagating the ultrashort laser pulses through a high numerical aperture optic so as to produce a focused beam of light; and

    guiding the beam of light through the eye tissue enclosing the anterior chamber of the eye to focus at a selected location on the trabecular meshwork of the eye.
