What is another word for cyclodestructive surgery?
Pronunciation: [sˌa͡ɪklə͡ʊdstɹˈʌktɪv sˈɜːd͡ʒəɹi] (IPA) 
Cyclodestructive surgery is a term used to describe a type of surgery used to treat glaucoma by lowering eye pressure. However, there are various synonyms that can be used interchangeably with cyclodestructive surgery. Some of these synonyms include cycloablation, cyclophotocoagulation, and cycloplethysmography. These terms refer to a range of glaucoma surgeries that target tissues in the ciliary body, which produces aqueous humor, the fluid that fills the eye and helps circulate nutrients to keep the eye healthy. Regardless of the term used to describe the surgery, the goal remains the same: to reduce intraocular pressure caused by glaucoma to prevent further vision loss.
