Determinants of cataract types following pars plana vitrectomy: roles of underlying diseases, age, surgery duration, and silicone oil tamponade

Key Points

• To identify factors associated with different types of cataracts following pars plana vitrectomy.
• Analyzed cataract types post-surgery
• Examined links to underlying diseases and patient age
• Evaluated effects of silicone oil tamponade and surgery duration
• Nuclear sclerosis was identified as the most common cataract type post-PPV.
• Specific factors led to posterior subcapsular cataract progression.
• Longer surgery duration, younger age, and silicone oil tamponade correlated with cataract formation.
