Abstract

Cataract formation is the most common complication of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), with the incidence of new or progressive lens opacity after vitrectomy being as high as 80 % within 2 years [1, 2]. Patients with cataract after PPV are at a high risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications due to anatomical differences between the vitrectomized and unoperated ones. Several factors must be considered before, during and after surgery to achieve successful outcomes in these patients.
