Abstract
Cyclocryotherapy employs temperatures as low as-112 °F (-80 °C) to destroy the ciliary body, thereby decreasing aqueous production and intraocular pressure. Secondary to the risk of significant intraocular inflammation, loss of vision, and phthisis, cyclocryotherapy may often be used as a last-line treatment option for uncontrolled or refractory glaucoma.
