Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for providing personalized surgery recommendations for eye patients. Surgery types, and surgery parameters can be recommended for a patient based on predicted post-operative UCVA for the patient if the surgery types and surgery parameters were to be used. Predicting post-operative UCVA can be handled as a regression problem based on patient demography and pre-operative examination details. In an additional aspect, surgery parameters are automatically determined and/or optimized for improved post-operative UCVA by including surgery parameters in a regression model.
