Mike,
I've never had that procedure, but I've had a couple of extra holes zapped
into my eyes via lazer.  (The shape of my eyes were ripe for acute onset
glaucoma.)  My only complaint was that I had a headacke for a couple of
days, and the extra strong diuretic made carbonated drinks taste like metal
for a couple of days.

Good luck to you.

I had a vitrectomy in one eye under general, and the other under local.  No
problem with either.  I had lens implants in both eye a couple of years
later, again local. One eye no problems the other I had a scratched cornea
that got infected.  Took several months to clear up and heal.  No experience
with vitrectomy and lens implant at the same time.  If it is an experienced
Dr, I would expect a high probablility of no problems.

Mike

no experience, just best wishes to send your way

may your recovery be complete and quick
