Abstract

An ophthalmological laser therapy positioning device which facilitates accurate positioning of the laser therapy system vis-à-vis the patient's eye. The positioning device includes a first and a second recording unit, which provide recording data from different recording directions, a displacement unit that displaces the relative position of the eye vis-à-vis an optical opening of the laser therapy system on the basis of control commands, and a control unit that generates control commands on the basis of the recording data. The positioning device furthermore may include a display unit for displaying the recording data and an input unit for inputting input data, the control unit in this case generates control commands on the basis of the recording data and/or on the basis of the input data and to provide the control commands to the displacement unit. Corresponding positioning methods are also included.
