11.5 Conclusions

Cryosurgery stands as the treatment of choice for many of the previously mentioned lesions. It is a technique used by ophthalmologists for many other conditions besides those mentioned in this chapter [14, 15]. It is a bloodless procedure that usually does not require local anesthesia. It is cost-effective, and no assistant is needed. The operator must be familiar with the anatomical area, and precautions must be taken to avoid accidental damage to the eye. Glossary
