canthotomy is a minor surgical cut made at the outer corner of the eyelids (the lateral canthus). canthotomy is most commonly used as an emergency eye procedure to relieve dangerous pressure around the eye. canthotomy is often discussed alongside **cantholysis**, which further releases tight eyelid tissues. canthotomy is used in emergency departments, trauma care, and ophthalmology settings when time matters for vision.
