Abstract

A planning device that generates control data for an ophthalmological laser therapy appliance with a laser device and a control unit, includes a first interface for supplying various data and a second interface for transferring the control data to the control unit of the ophthalmological laser therapy appliance, which is embodied to generate control data for a scanning pattern for the ophthalmological laser therapy appliance from the supplied data, by application of which scanning pattern a structure can be produced in the cornea, the limbus, and/or the sclera of a patient's eye. The planning device is embodied to generate from the supplied data, control data for the scanning pattern of this structure and/or a structure for receiving the shunt implant.
