  • Patent number: 12245973
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling an ophthalmological laser of a treatment apparatus for the treatment of a human or animal eye. The method includes controlling the laser by a control device of the treatment apparatus such that the laser emits pulsed laser pulses in a shot sequence in a preset pattern into the eye. The individual laser pulses interact with a tissue of the eye for the treatment of the eye, wherein a space-filling curve is the preset pattern for treating the tissue.
