First Claim
Patent Images
1. An ophthalmological laser treatment device comprising:
- a treatment laser configured to introduce energy into a portion of an eye of a patient according to a predetermined surgical structure;
a light source configured to illuminate at least the portion of the eye;
a detection device configured to record an image of at least the portion of the eye; and
an evaluating unit which is configured to determine a degree of an instantaneous overlap between an optical zone of the eye and the predetermined surgical structure or at least a part of the predetermined surgical structure effecting refractive correction based on a recorded image.

Abstract
An evaluating unit which is adapted to determine a degree of an instantaneous overlap between an optical zone of the eye and the structure, or at least a part of the structure effecting refractive correction, based on a recorded image. By determining the degree of overlap between the instantaneous optical zone and the structure to be introduced, it is possible to control the superposition of the optical zone with the tissue volume which is specifically altered by means of the laser cutting and, accordingly, to enable a maximum coverage.

8. A method for introducing energy into an eye according to a predetermined surgical structure by means of an excimer laser or a femtosecond laser, the method comprising the following steps:
-
determining, based on a recorded image, a degree of instantaneous overlap between an optical zone of the eye and the predetermined surgical structure, or at least a part of the predetermined surgical structure effecting refractive correction; and taking the determined degree of instantaneous overlap into account in at least one of; a step of determining irradiation control data; and a step of deciding on a commencement of irradiation of the eye. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17)
