The software also routes the image for display superimposes thereon first indicia indicative of the predetermined area. Data are received on a location of a sector of the tissue desired to be protected from the radiation and for superimposing on the displayed image second indicia indicative of the sector. In a specific embodiment the tissue is an eye and the predetermined area is at least a portion of the cornea.
