OPHTHALMIC APPARATUS AND OPHTHALMIC METHOD FOR POSITIONING AN EYE OF A PATIENT IN A PREDETERMINED NOMINAL POSITION

摘要

An ophthalmic apparatus is provided, comprising a supporting device (2) for a patient an eye treatment device (3), which comprises a contact element (10) for spatially fixing an eye (A) of the patient with respect to the treatment device (3), and a positioning device (4) for shifting the supporting device (2) and a contact element (10) relative to each other in order to position the eye (A), before it is fixed using the contact element (10), at a predetermined nominal position relative to the contact elements (10), wherein the ophthalmic apparatus comprises a detection device (11 ), which records an image of the eye (A) of the patient present on the supporting device (2) and, on the basis of said recorded image, determines an indication concerning a relative shift of the supporting device (2) with respect to the contact element (10), which shift is required to move the eye (A) to the nominal position by means of the positioning device (4).
