Retrospective cohort study assesses visual outcomes in eyes with retained lens fragments, indicating benefits of early intervention.

The study aims to evaluate visual acuity outcomes and complications following pars plana vitrectomy for retained lens fragments.
Retrospective cohort study using IRIS Registry data from January 2013 to December 2022.
Identified eyes that underwent pars plana vitrectomy for retained lens fragments within 8 weeks of cataract surgery.
Utilized multivariable regression to determine predictors of visual outcomes.
5640 eyes analyzed with a mean logMAR visual acuity improvement from 0.63 before surgery to 0.46 after.
Same-day PPV led to significantly lower complication rates.
IOL implantation before PPV was a significant predictor of improved vision.

McCarthy et al. (2026) studied this question.
