‘Virtual eye’ simulation software may improve refractive surgery outcomes

LOS ANGELES — Simulation software designed to build a virtual eye may help predict the outcomes of laser vision correction before surgery, resulting in a more individualized treatment approach, according to a speaker here.
At Refractive Day at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, William J. Dupps Jr., MS, PhD, MD, FARVO, said that the current refractive surgery paradigm is retrospective, probabilistic, minimally personalized and population based. A shift in the approach to surgical planning may be needed.
“The new approach, hopefully, can be more
