Surgical contact lens system with a patient contact lens

A method for using a surgical contact lens system for ophthalmic treatment with a laser beam, comprising:

• disposing a patient contact lens outwardly from a cornea of an eye, the patient contact lens designed to reduce refractive errors of the eye including a spherical error of the eye and an astigmatism of the eye, the patient contact lens having a concave surface and a convex surface, the concave surface configured to be disposed outwardly from the eye;
• disposing a surgical contact lens outwardly from the patient contact lens, the surgical contact lens comprising an optical component coupled to a frame, the surgical contact lens having an eye end configured to be disposed outwardly from the convex surface of the patient contact lens, the patient contact lens configured to reduce force from the surgical contact lens in order to reduce corneal folding of a posterior surface of the cornea;
• and
• directing the laser beam through the optical component of the surgical contact lens and the patient contact lens to treat the eye.

A patient contact lens for ophthalmic treatment with a laser beam, comprising:

• the patient contact lens having:
• a concave surface configured to be disposed outwardly from a cornea of an eye;
• a convex surface configured to be in contact with an eye end of a surgical contact lens, the surgical contact lens comprising an optical component coupled to a frame, the optical component configured to transmit the laser beam to treat the eye,
• the patient contact lens configured to:
• reduce refractive errors of the eye including a spherical error of the eye and an astigmatism of the eye;
• reduce pressure from the surgical contact lens to reduce corneal folding of a posterior surface of the cornea;
• and
• transmit the laser beam to treat the eye.
