To assess the influence of cataract surgery following TE, we matched patients who underwent cataract surgery at least 6 months after TE 1:3 by sex and age to eyes who did not undergo cataract surgery during follow-up. To enable adequate comparison, the time of cataract surgery after TE was set as baseline both for the eye after cataract surgery and the matched counterparts. Only eyes that met the criteria of success at the time of this new baseline were included in this analysis.
