Abstract: Disclosed are a measuring apparatus and a measuring method for preparing laser treatment of the eye. The measuring apparatus for preparing laser treatment has a device for determining a subjective refraction of the eye, wherein: the device for determining the subjective refraction has a housing which can be positioned in front of the eye and contains an opening; the housing has a device for providing different optical elements for the subjective visual compensation for refractive errors in the opening; and the housing is provided with a device for registration of the eye through the opening.

Abstract: A planning apparatus for generating control data for an eye surgery treatment device which creates at least one cut surface in the cornea using a laser device. The planning apparatus includes a calculation tool for determining the at least one cut surface in the cornea. The calculation tool determines the at least one cut surface in the cornea based on data from a refractive correction and generates a set of control data that control the laser device for the at least one cut surface in the cornea. The at least one cut surface in the cornea includes an edge and optically effective areas. The calculation tool determines the at least one cut surface in the cornea such the at least one cut surface in the cornea is deeper at the edge than in the optically effective areas.

Abstract: An ophthalmological laser system and operating method wherein laser-supported operative interventions can be achieved with higher accuracy. The cornea is irradiated with an ophthalmological laser and a detection light confocally recorded, the cornea being scanned in three-dimensions by irradiation with an illuminating laser power using a scanner unit along several directions at several points. Using the simultaneously recorded detection light the position and/or shape of a posterior boundary surface of the cornea is determined. A lamella parallel to the posterior boundary surface can then be cut.
