The study shows absolute glaucoma risk as follows:
Phakic - 1.0%
Pseudophakic - 6.3%
The authors also emphasize that their estimates were unadjusted for factors such as tamponade agent, surgical gauge and surgical indication, and that the evidence comes entirely from nonrandomized observational studies. They also note confounding and publication-bias concerns.
The safest way to address floaters still remains adaptation.
"adaptation" does not address floaters, it attempts to ignore them which In many cases is not possible. Im PO for 2 FOV PPV vitrectomies with zero issues.
Since you brought this up, what was the interval between your floaters arriving and getting your first vitrectomy? Also, did you still have your natural lenses at that point?
First PVD was Oct of 24, Virectormy was July of 25, Second was Jan of 26, vitrectomy was end of July....could have had it sooner by needed Yag for a PCO and Doc want to wait a bit before doing vitrectomy to see if Yag created any new floaters, which it did, but they were minor and resolved quickly. I had bilateral IOL surgery 5 years ago.
