Ophthalmic surgery method

A method for treating an eye by producing and communicating control data for a treatment apparatus for eye surgery, which produces cut surfaces in the cornea by means of a laser device, the method comprising the following steps:

• receiving corneal data on the basis of data of a laser induced refractive index change (LIRIC) structure at a planning device;
• determining the corneal cut surfaces, the corneal cut surfaces determined in such a way that the LIRIC structure is enclosed by the cut surfaces;
• producing a control data record for use in treating an eye of a Patient by actuating the laser device to produce the corneal cut surfaces by making laser cuts on the eye based on the control data
• transmitting control data of the control data record to the laser device so as to enable the laser device to treat the eye by producing the corneal cut surfaces that enclose the LIRIC structure when actuated;
• and
• producing the cut surfaces by actuating the laser device with the control data record.

A method for eye surgery, wherein cut surfaces are produced in the cornea through the use of a treatment apparatus with a laser device, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing corneal data on the basis of the data of a laser induced refractive index change (LIRIC) structure;
• setting the corneal cut surfaces, the corneal cut surfaces comprising at least a lenticular cut and a cap cut, on the basis of the corneal data;
• producing a control data record for the corneal cut surfaces;
• transmitting the control data to the treatment apparatus;
• and
• producing the cut surfaces by actuating the laser device with the control data record;
• wherein the corneal cut a surfaces are determined in such a way that the LIRIC structure is enclosed by the cut surfaces.
