Highlights
- Prior pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is independently associated with a higher incidence of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery.
- Risk of CME was approximately 3.7 times greater in eyes with prior PPV compared to non-vitrectomized eyes.
- This elevated risk persists across indications for vitrectomy, including retinal detachment and non-retinal detachment cases.
- Findings emphasize the need for vigilance in postoperative monitoring and consideration of prophylactic strategies in vitrectomized eyes undergoing cataract extraction.
