Systematic review compares outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy and anterior vitrectomy during lens implantation, suggesting implications for surgical choices.

Given the lower certainty of evidence for most outcomes, surgeons should interpret these findings in the context of their surgical expertise and individual patient characteristics.
