A surgical instrument with a circular blade or cutting head, used for precision cutting in eye surgery.
From Greek 'kyklos' (circle) + 'tome' (cut). This medical instrument term emerged in the 19th century as ophthalmological surgery became more sophisticated.
Cyclotomes are used in precise eye surgeries where doctors need to make perfect circular cuts—the circular blade shape is perfect for delicate eye work where millimeters matter!
