This article reports a case of choroidal detachment (CD) probably from reduced volume of the globe and ocular hypotony following scleral fixation of intraocular lens (SFIOL) in a diabetic. Ocular hypotony is a complication of intraocular surgeries such as glaucoma filtering procedures, penetrating keratoplasty, and vitreous surgery. Urgent identification and management of CD is important to ensure a favorable visual outcome. We report a case of CD from prolonged ocular hypotony (OH) following SFIOL in a Nigerian male. Our patient was a 59-year-old diabetic male who presented with poor vision in left eye following cataract surgery. Left eye examination revealed quiet anterior segment with aphakia and a normal posterior segment. A +10 Dioptre sphere lens over the index eye improved visual acuity to 6/12. He was scheduled for SFIOL which was uneventful. He developed sudden decline in vision 1 week postoperative, examination revealed a serous choroidal detachment that resolved completely with high dose oral and topical steroids, systemic vitamin C, and doxycycline to a final unaided visual acuity of 6/24 at 2 weeks, and 6/9 at 3 months.
