dammie, I read that post. It was unclear to me what was the primary reason for the surgery? Did oxio already have cataracts, or, did he choose to remove his clear lenses in order to have a more complete FOV (like I'm talking about here)?

I'm still waiting on my glasses. Do you remember rancol? I talk to him quite a bit and he had a combined surgery on both eyes using a surgeon I'm planning on using (we live in the same area). According to his surgeon, there was "nothing left to remove" as far as vitreous. Question is whether that'll be the case years from now, but, seems like an acceptable risk to me. Besides, I have no problem with going in for another FOV years from now if its a problem. At that time, there would be no risk of cataract , very little vitreous to target, and the chances of RD would be minimal.
