Dynamic gonioscopy and ultrasound biomicroscopy for diagnosis of latent or low‐lying cyclodialysis clefts

Cyclodialysis is the detachment of the longitudinal ciliary body muscle from the scleral spur. Bypassing the angle, it directs the aqueous into the suprachoroidal space causing hypotony. Hence it is important that the cleft be identified and treated, especially when associated with complications such as hypotonic maculopathy.1 Small clefts may resolve spontaneously, however, most of them need some form of treatment, primarily decided based on the number, height and extent of the clefts.2 Hence, accurate estimation of the cleft dimensions is important.
