An initial treatment pattern defining an initial volume of ocular tissue to be modified for treating glaucoma is designed. An initial laser treatment is delivered by scanning a laser beam across ocular tissue at an initial placement in the eye in accordance with the initial treatment pattern to thereby photo disrupt the initial volume of ocular tissue. A postoperative measure of intraocular pressure (IOP) is evaluated relative to an IOP criterion to determine if the treatment was successful. If the treatment was not successful, meaning the IOP criterion was not satisfied, then a subsequent treatment pattern that defines a subsequent volume of ocular tissue to be modified, and/or a subsequent placement in the eye is determined. A subsequent laser treatment is delivered by scanning a laser beam across ocular tissue at the subsequent placement within the eye in accordance with the subsequent treatment pattern to thereby photo disrupt the subsequent volume of ocular tissue.
