Cyclodialysis cleft is an uncommon but clinically significant cause of ocular hypotony. It can develop after ocular trauma or surgeries involving manipulation of the iris root, trabecular meshwork, or ciliary body. Here we report a case of persistent hypotony caused by a cyclodialysis cleft following polypropylene suture-assisted GATT, which was successfully managed with direct cyclopexy followed by a repeat GATT to restore intraocular pressure (IOP) control.
