Cataracts are very common after vitrectomy.  If the cataract is affecting your vision and function, the treatment is to remove the cataract and replace the cloudy lens with a clear intraocular lens (implant).  You did not state the reason for the vitrectomy, but if your optic nerve and retina are healthy, then the vision outcome from the cataract surgery should be good.
