Popular belief is that when Shiva's third eye opens, it destroys the world and therefore Shiva is known as destructor.
Well, let's try to understand it's inner meaning. If you notice, Shiva's third eye is half open, and that represents an inner eye, observing 'I'. Complete opening of third eye represents that the observation is at maximum intensity causing destruction of 'I' and when 'I' is destroyed, world created by 'I' also is destroyed.
Basically destruction caused by Shiva's third eye represents destruction of individuality that kills so called an individual, which marks emergence of supreme, the ultimate, the One.
