Cyclodialysis clefts are a result of disinsertion of the ciliary body from the scleral spur. These can be caused traumatically, commonly following blunt injury, or iatrogenically following anterior chamber surgery.

As a result, the eye becomes hypotonus with choroidal effusions, macular folds and decreased visual acuity.
