This treats an abnormal area on the cornea, the clear surface at the front of the eye, by destroying it with a method such as freezing, light-based coagulation, or laser, including the thin outer layer covering it. It's used to remove growths or abnormal tissue from the corneal surface. This is a destructive treatment rather than a surgical excision that removes a tissue sample.
