Abstract:
The authors operated on a patient who had bilateral ocular hypotony after severe blunt ocular trauma with subsequent circular cyclodialysis and luxation of the lenses. Because of the specific situation, none of the previously reported procedures could be applied. A new surgical technique was used to circularly refixate the ciliary body ab interno. The method described here is simple and can be recommended as an alternative technique to refixate the ciliary body in all aphakic or pseudophakic eyes with persistent ocular hypotony caused by traumatic or surgically induced cyclodialysis.
