Computer model could make eye surgery more precise
NCT ID NCT05551715
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested a virtual eye model system (VEMoS) to help personalize cataract and refractive surgery. Researchers collected eye measurements from over 500 participants, including those having surgery and those with healthy eyes. The goal was to find which measurements best predict good vision after surgery, so future surgeries can be tailored to each patient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Software (Virtual Eye Model System - VEMoS)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more personalized and accurate refractive or cataract surgeries, improving visual outcomes for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study to validate software, not a treatment trial. The software may not improve outcomes in practice, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: For the untreated eyes arm, the inclusion criterion is: • patients from 18 to 40 years of age and with less than 2 D of astigmatism. For the refractive surgery arm, the inclusion criteria are: * for LASIK: sphere between -10 D and +4 D and with less than 3 D of astigmatism. * for SMILE: sphere between -10 D and -3 D, with less than 3 D of astigmatism. For the cataract surgery arm, the inclusion criterion is: • patients older than 50 years old without any active ocular pathologies affecting visual capabilities except cataract and with less than 1 D of astigmatism. Exclusion Criteria: For the untreated eyes and the refractive surgery arms, the exclusion criteria are: * ocular pathology affecting visual capabilities, * reduced transparency of ocular media, * systemic disease affecting visual capabilities. For the cataract surgery arms, the exclusion criterion is: * Systemic disease affecting visual capabilities. * Ocular pathology affecting visual capabilities other than cataract * Included patients will be excluded if surgical complications occurs
