iridotomy
Iridotomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating a small hole or opening in the iris of the eye to allow the fluid inside the eye to circulate freely, thereby relieving or preventing high pressure inside the eye. This procedure is often used as a treatment for glaucoma or other eye conditions that cause increased ocular pressure.
