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