Transscleral repair of recalcitrant, inadvertent, postoperative cyclodialysis cleft

We present a patient with a cyclodialysis cleft in whom, after established medical, laser, and initial surgical interventions had failed to close the cleft, we successfully used ab externo suture placement to appose and close it. Although we present only one case, we believe this procedure, which may be useful in pseudophakic and aphakic eyes, is easier to perform than previously described techniques.
