The invention relates to a treatment apparatus (10) and a method for providing control data for an ophthalmological laser (12) of a treatment apparatus (10) for the laser-induced refractive index change. As steps, the method includes determining (S10) treatment positions (16) in a cornea (14) of an eye, which are intended for the change by the laser-induced refractive index change; determining (S12) an orientation of collagen fibers (30) to be expected in the cornea (14) in the respective treatment positions (16) based on collagen fiber data of the cornea (14); setting (S14) a polarization property (24, 26) of a laser beam (20) of the laser (12) based on the orientation of the collagen fibers (30) to be expected for a respective treatment position (30); and providing (S16) the control data, which includes the set polarization property (24, 26) for the respective treatment position (16).
A method for providing control data for an ophthalmological laser of a treatment apparatus for the laser-induced refractive index change, wherein the method comprises the following steps performed by a control device:
(canceled)
A treatment apparatus comprising at least one ophthalmologic laser for the laser-induced refractive index change of a cornea of a human or animal eye, wherein the treatment apparatus further comprises a control device and a polarization device, wherein the polarization device is configured to adjust a polarization property of a laser beam of the ophthalmologic laser, wherein the control device is configured to determine an expected orientation of collagen fibers in the cornea at predetermined treatment positions in the cornea of the eye that are intended to be changed by the laser-induced refractive index change on the basis of predetermined collagen fiber data of the cornea, and the polarization device is configured to adjust the polarization property depending on the expected orientation of the collagen fibers at the respective treatment position during irradiation with the ophthalmologic laser.
