Abstract

A computer program product for controlling a laser-assisted eye treatment, configured to encode a system controller with a routine for planning the eye treatment, invention further relates to a laser-assisted eye treatment system including a laser treatment unit and a system controller, to a method for generating control data for a laser-assisted eye treatment system, to a planning method for a laser-assisted eye treatment and to an eye treatment method using a laser beam for treating a patient's eye. The invention provides systems and methods for a fast laser-assisted eye treatment of a patient's eye which improve the security and minimize the risk of a non-optimal eye treatment and enable sale eye treatment planning and a shortening of the critical phase of the eye treatment. Encoding a system controller by a routine for planning the eye treatment is strictly based on an anatomy of a patient's eye.
