We report our surgical technique to repair a cyclodialysis cleft in a young patient with hypotony maculopathy and decreasing visual acuity in his left eye for approximately seven weeks following ocular trauma caused by a BB pellet. The technique was introduced for suturing a cyclodialysis cleft in which sutures are placed on the corneal limbus to restore the cleft using a long curved needle with 10-0 polypropylene thread, in order to apply tension to the ciliary body which has been relaxed by dialysis. One year after surgery, the patient's visual acuity had improved, the hypotony showed recovery, and optic disc swelling had also improved. However, choroidal rupture persisted. This surgical technique is suitable for restoration of the traumatic cyclodialysis cleft associated with hypotony maculopathy. The technique in this report also makes it possible to spare the lens.
