The developments proposed as part of The VEMoS project directly address these European and global needs. The virtual eye model embedded in the VEMoS software will be matured and validated clinically with real data. By the end of the project, the enhanced VEMoS software will allow doctors and their patients in the clinical decision-making processes. The improved prediction ability of the VEMoS software ought to decrease adverse effect of refractive surgery and improve outcome satisfaction.
