Does vitrectomy have to remove the lens?

Vitrectomy

is a procedure to treat ocular bleeding, vitreous hemorrhage, etc. If the lens is cloudy or has other problems, the doctor may recommend removing the lens at the same time as vitrectomy to improve the patient's vision and reduce postoperative complications. If the patient's lens is in a normal state, it is generally not necessary to remove the lens during vitrectomy.

It is recommended that the patient be fully evaluated with the help of the doctor before vitrectomy to determine whether the lens needs to be removed.
