Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate a technique for ab-interno repair of cyclodialysis cleft in conjunction with placement of an intraocular lens (IOL). DESIGN: Interventional case reports. METHODS: setting: Clinical practice. patients: Two eyes of two patients, one phakic and one aphakic, present with hypotony secondary to traumatic cyclodialysis cleft. intervention: A single piece all-polymethyl methacrylate intraocular lens (PMMA IOL) 13.5 mm in diameter was placed in the ciliary sulcus with the haptics placed in the area of cyclodialysis cleft during cataract surgery and secondary placement of IOL. main outcome measures: Intraocular pressure (IOP). RESULTS: Hypotony resolved in both patients on the first postoperative day and the IOP was maintained above 10 mm Hg for more then 36 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: In the setting of hypotony from a traumatic cyclodialysis cleft, the haptics of an IOL can be used as an internal cerclage during cataract or secondary IOL surgery to effectively close the cleft by direct apposition of the ciliary body to the overlying sclera.
