A, Canthotomy consists of surgically dividing the superior and inferior crura of the lateral canthal tendon. B, Cantholysis refers to
lysis of the inferior (and sometimes superior) crus of the lateral canthal tendon. C, Septolysis, or opening the orbital septum, can be
performed bluntly with surgical scissors through the incision made during canthotomy and cantholysis (illustrations courtesy of
Lynda McCulley, PharmD).

Intraocular pressure, orbital pressure, and exophthalmometry measurements in an experimental model of orbital hemorrhage. Mean
measurements from 10 orbits of 5 cadavers are given. The arrows indicate measurements taken immediately prior to canthotomy
(*), cantholysis (†), and septolysis (‡).
