Incidence and risk factors of cataract following pediatric pars plana vitrectomy
Post-PPV cataract is a common complication occurring in about one-third of children. Risk factors include silicone oil tamponade, gas tamponade and multiple surgeries. Follow-up should be started early and continued for an extended duration after PPV especially in young children at risk of developing amblyopia.
