Cataract surgery is commonly required after radical vitreous surgery especially in patients having pre existing lenticular changes. Many cases also are being done with a 2 step stage with preparatory phacoemulsification before the primary retinal surgery, which in some cases adversely aect the nal visual outcome because of the delay between two surgeries ( especially in cases of retinal detachment). Separate surgeries also frequently increase the morbidity and recovery time for the patient.
