1. An ophthalmological laser system comprising:

  • a laser, the radiation of which is focusable as a laser illumination light beam;

    at least one processor;

    memory;

    at least one program stored in the memory and executable by the at least one processor, the at least one program comprising instructions to;

    obtain a predetermined pattern characterized by a plurality of positions along a plurality of spatially distributed iris tissues of an eye of a patient;

    align said laser illumination light beam in accordance with one or more of the plurality of positions along the plurality of spatially distributed iris tissues;

    deliver said laser illumination light beam in the predetermined pattern on a surface of the eye of the patient; and

    cauterize at least a subset of the spatially distributed iris tissues, by the delivery of the laser illumination light beam in the predetermined pattern, thereby resulting in a permanent decrease in diameter of the pupil of the eye.
