    Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is a common surgical method for vitreoretinal diseases, but cataract development is a frequent complication.

  • 2

    Nuclear sclerosis (NS) and posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) are the most common cataract types observed after PPV.

  • 3

    Factors influencing PSC development include younger age, retinal detachment, silicone oil use, and longer surgical duration.

  • 4

    The study analyzed data from 561 participants to evaluate cataract types and associated risk factors following PPV.

  • 5

    Nuclear sclerosis showed the highest progression among cataract types, while cortical cataract progression was minimal.
