TREATMENT DEVICE FOR THE SURGICAL CORRECTION OF DEFECTIVE VISION OF AN EYE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING CONTROL DATA THEREFOR, AND METHOD FOR THE SURGICAL CORRECTION OF DEFECTIVE VISION OF AN EYE

摘要

A treatment device for the surgical correction of defective vision in an eye. The device includes a laser apparatus controlled by a controller. The controller determines a desired correction of defective vision from measurement data of the eye to produce control data for the laser, and to control the laser to emit radiation according to the control data, such that a lenticule-shaped volume is isolated in the cornea. The controller computes a lenticule-shaped intended volume, the removal of which from the cornea leads to an actual correction of defective vision in an optical zone in the eye which differs from the desired correction more at the edge of the optical zone than at the center of the optical zone. The thickness of the lenticule-shaped intended volume is less than the thickness of a lenticule-shaped comparison volume, the removal of which would bring about the desired correction of defective vision.
