We would like to thank Awasthi et al. [1] for their interest in our paper and their insightful comments.

Phacoemulsification with three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was done in all phakic patients as we believe that removing the lens gives access to the ora and far retinal periphery and allows dealing with the anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). The axial length was measured using optical biometry (IOL Master; Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). If the axial length measured by optical biometry was shorter than that of the other eye, the axial length measurement was verified with A-scan ultrasonography [2]. SRK/T formula with the manufacturer’s recommended A-constant was used to calculate IOL power. The axial length adjustment with Wang–Koch modification was applied. The refractive value in the other eye determined the refractive aim in the operated eye.
