High-Speed Device for Re-Shaping the Cornea

A device for re-shaping a cornea of a patient, comprising:

• a laser source adapted to emit a laser light;
• a digital micromirror device adapted to receive the laser light and emit a pattern of multiple laser beams;
• a mounting mechanism adapted to fixate a head of the patient;
• focusing optics adapted to focus the pattern of multiple laser beams emitted by the digital micromirror device onto the cornea of the patient;
• an image sensor adapted to detect an image of the cornea of the patient;
• and
• a controller adapted to control, based on the image detected by the image sensor, the laser source and the digital micromirror device so as to generate one or more illumination patterns on the cornea of the patient which allow(s) for re-shaping the cornea of the patient in accordance with a predetermined target shape of the cornea of the patient.
