Regarding Cataract chances according to doctor Charles who performed 28.000 vitrectomys:
"It seems the answer will differ depending on your age, and the current state of your lens before the surgery. He said vitrectomy does not cause cataracts, it only causes progression of nuclear sclerotic cataracts in the lens (yellowing) if they are pre-existing in the eye before the surgery. As for getting them faster in your future life, he simply said there is no evidence of this. The age indirectly play a role as the yellowing of the lens is something that usually happens over 40 (but not to everybody). In other words, if you are older you have more chances of getting a cataract because more of a chance of being on the fence as to already having the beginning of natural cataracts pre-op. You will have to ask him to get your own chances of getting cataracts."
Remember we had RockstarPaul on this board who had a equal chance of cataract as someone who didn't have a vitrectomy. So cataract in his late 70s or 80s according to dr Patel.
@ Thedge
We had Sim on this board who underwent a vitrectomy in 2006 at the age of 34. 5 years later still no sign of cataract.
