Method for providing control data for an ophthalmological laser of a treatment apparatus, control device therefor, treatment apparatus, computer program product and computer-readable medium

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing control data for an ophthalmological laser (12) of a treatment apparatus (10) for treating a human or animal eye (16), wherein the method comprises the following steps performed by a control device (18): setting an area (14) to be irradiated on or in a cornea of the eye (16) to be treated for performing an irradiation treatment with the laser (12), setting a virtual irradiation mask (50) in a mask plane (40), wherein the area (14) to be irradiated is situated within the virtual irradiation mask (50) in a perpendicular projection onto the mask plane (40), and providing control data for the laser (12) by the control device (18), wherein the control data includes coordinates of the area (14) to be irradiated such that the laser (12) emits laser pulses to the area (14) to be irradiated during the treatment.
