Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure described is cyclodialysis, which involves creating an opening between the anterior chamber and the suprachoroidal space to improve drainage of aqueous humor and lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. Paracentesis involves draining fluid from the anterior chamber using a needle, strabotomy is a surgical procedure to correct a misaligned eye, enucleation involves the removal of the entire eyeball, and phacoemulsification is a procedure to remove a cataract from the lens of the eye. None of these procedures involve creating an opening in the suprachoroidal space.
