Abstract: A system for short pulse laser eye surgery and a short pulse laser system, in which a beam guidance device passes through a corresponding articulated arm, and through an applicator head and a microscope head of the system, which is movable in a three-dimensional volume both independently of one another as well as connected to each other. The system also includes an easy to use patient interface with a one-piece contact element, a computer program product for methods of the incision guidance and sequentially operating referencing methods with patient interfaces containing markings.

Abstract: Devices and methods of laser surgery of an eye, especially for refractive surgery, preferably for keratoplasty. The invention includes a planning and control unit, a system for laser surgery of an eye and a planning and control method wherein a device coordinate system of the first laser device and a device coordinate system of the characterization device are coupled using registration and measurement data or model data of the lamella can be unambiguously registered to the device coordinate systems, further by a defined edge geometry of the lamella, an ametropia correction during the generation of the lamella and by taking into account the hydration condition of the lamella, as well as methods for surgery.

Abstract: A system for processing a portion in a processing volume of a transparent material by application of focused radiation including a device for generating and an optical system for focusing radiation, with a device for changing the position of the focus of the radiation and a control device. The system includes a controller that controls the ophthalmologic therapy system. The controller is encoded with a scan pattern. The scan pattern includes adjacent strokes with each adjacent stroke having an angle of inclination (?) to the beam axis; and the angle of inclination (?) of the strokes to the beam axis is always larger than or equal to the focal angle (?) of the focused radiation.

Abstract: Equipment and methods for refractive surgery, including for keratoplasty. The invention describes equipment and methods for the production and implantation of a lamella of a tissue or material for the purpose of correcting a corneal geometry at maximum precision that is thus improved in relation to the prior art. The invention facilitates restoration of normal corneal geometry together with optical functionality of the cornea which is improved in relation to the prior art. A planning device, a treatment system and a planning method are designed to couple a device coordinate systems of the laser devices involved and characterization devices by application of registration and to uniquely register the supplied measurement data for generating the lamella to be implanted to the device coordinate systems by a specific, defined edge geometry of a blank from which the lamella is produced, and by the lamella, and by additional system and method aids.

Abstract: A system for processing a portion in a processing volume of a transparent material by application of focused radiation including a device for generating and an optical system for focusing radiation, with a device for changing the position of the focus of the radiation and a control device. This system performs a slow scanning movement of the focus and an independent fast scanning movement of the focus which section can be moved by the slow scanning movement in the entire processing volume in an arbitrary direction; as well as by a system into which a scan pattern is encoded, with scanning movement including at least one lateral base component in the x- and/or y-direction, which is superimposed by components with synchronous change-of-direction-movements in the z-direction and in x-direction and/or y-direction. The invention also includes corresponding methods, a control program product and a planning unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for localizing intraocular lens and/or existing refractive index patterns, to laser write-patterns, and to refractive index patterns in order to modify the refractive index by application of femtosecond laser pulses. OCT-based confocal detection and sectional image systems are provided for localization purposes, the systems being particularly suitable for the detection of phase patterns in addition to the localization of the IOL. With respect to laser write-patterns, the modification of existing refractive index patterns in the IOL is carried out by destroying existing structures or supplementing existing refractive index patterns.
