title: Cyclodialysis cleft following a scleral tunnel incision.
abstract: We report a case of ocular hypotony secondary to a cyclodialysis cleft that developed following a phacoemulsification procedure in which a scleral tunnel incision was used. A cyclodialysis cleft should be suspected in cases of persistent postoperative hypotony.
