Systematic searches of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid Medline, and Cochrane Library were conducted from inception through May 1, 2026, following PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Studies were selected based on the PICOS framework: patients with posterior capsule opacification receiving Nd: YAG capsulotomy, comparing baseline and postoperative CMT. Exclusion criteria encompassed animal studies, secondary literature, non-English publications, and studies lacking CMT data. A total of 3 RCTs and 20 cohort studies met the eligibility criteria. Primary outcomes were CMT changes at postoperative day 1, week 1, month 1, and month 3. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane RoB 2.0 and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.4.1 and Stata 16.0, applying fixed effects or random-effects models based on heterogeneity (\n                      <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ), with publication bias evaluated via Egger\u2019s test and funnel plots.
