Modular patient adapter for an eye laser device

An apparatus for laser assisted eye treatment, comprising:

• a laser device configured to provide focused laser radiation and having an adapter coupling port;
• an adapter module comprising:
• a first sub-module configured to detachably couple to the laser device at the adapter coupling port and having a contact surface for an eye;
• a second sub-module that includes an eye suction ring portion having a ring axis, and that delimits at least one suction space;
• a vacuum inlet port in association with each of the at least one suction space;
• and
• an evacuation path system configured to establish a vacuum communication connection between each of the at least one suction space and the associated vacuum inlet port, the vacuum inlet port provided at the first sub-module, the evacuation path system extending from the first sub-module to the second sub-module, wherein:
• the adapter coupling port includes a vacuum outlet port and a slide-in structure having at least one slot adapted to slidingly receive in a sliding direction orthogonal to the ring axis a rim portion formed at the first sub-module;
• and
• the vacuum inlet port moves into overlapping relationship with the vacuum outlet port when the first sub-module is slid into the slide-in structure.
