A patient with decreased vision was noted to have hypotony, a shallow anter
ior chamber, and a myopic shift following blunt trauma to the eye. The cycl
odialysis cleft noted on gonioscopic examination was the likely cause of th
e findings in this patient. Following spontaneous closure of the cleft, the
intraocular pressure increased, the lens and iris returned to their normal
position and the patient's vision returned to 20/20 uncorrected.
