Bayesian random effects meta-analyses were conducted to estimate and compare outcomes for the 2 different IOL materials.



Bayesian random effects meta-analyses
The purpose of this study is to estimate and compare neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy rates for AcrySof ® and Clareon® intraocular lens (IOL) materials using historical data from the medical literature and Alcon-sponsored clinical studies.


 A Bayesian random effects, meta-analysis was performed that combined a literature review of published AcrySof Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy rates and Nd:YAG rates observed in Alcon-sponsored clinical studies of AcrySof and Clareon.
