A 63-year-old woman experienced persistent hypotony in both eyes about 1 month after cataract surgery. Neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy was performed to enlarge the anterior capsule opening. Six days after the capsulotomy, an examination revealed reattached ciliary bodies and normal intraocular pressure. This case highlights a rare occurrence of ciliary detachment and secondary hypotony caused by capsule contraction after phacoemulsification surgery. Early detection and timely Nd:YAG laser anterior capsulotomy relaxes the capsule, alleviates the ciliary body detachment, and prevents serious complications.
