Abstract

Cryotherapy (or cryosurgery) is the technique of precise freezing and thawing of undesirable tissue, resulting in cell death and regression. It is a highly effective technique available to the ophthalmologist for local control and eradication of various intra-and periocular tumors and can serve as an alternative or adjunct to other methods such as surgical excision or radiotherapy.
