Risk Factors Associated with Failure of Direct Cyclopexy in the Treatment of Small to Moderate Tramatic Cyclodialysis Clefts.

Conclusion: Exceeding the threshold of 5 clock hour in anterior chamber angle closure may impede accurate cleft location and, thus, present a higher risk of failure to correct hypotony using direct cyclopexy. These patients may need injection of a viscoelastic agent into the anterior chamber by paracentesis to deepen the anterior chamber and to delineate the clefts using gonioscopy pre- or intraoperatively.
