A system for short pulse laser eye surgery and a short pulse laser system, in which a beam guidance device passes through a corresponding articulated arm, and through an applicator head and a microscope head of the system, which is movable in a three-dimensional volume both independently of one another as well as connected to each other. The system also includes an easy to use patient interface with a one-piece contact element, a computer program product for methods of the incision guidance and sequentially operating referencing methods with patient interfaces containing markings.

Combined equipment for non-contacting determination of axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (VKT) and corneal curvature (HHK) of the eye, are also important for the selection of the intraocular lens IOL to be implanted, particularly the selection of an intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted, preferably with fixation of the eye by means of a fixating lamp and/or illumination through light sources grouped eccentrically about the observation axis.

System and method for the non-contacting measurements of the eye

A solution for the individual automatic rough positioning of ophthalmological equipment with respect to ensure the diagnostic or therapeutic treatment of the patient. The assembly includes a positioning aid and a control unit for the automatic alignment of the axis of vision of the eye with the optical axis of the ophthalmological equipment. The positioning aid includes a chin rest and a forehead support which have corresponding controllable actuating devices. The assembly has an additional measuring device for recording the geometry of the face of the patient.

The invention relates to a contact glass for ophthalmic surgery. Said glass comprises a lens body that is held in a frame and a front lens surface that is designed to be placed against the eye. According to the invention, the front lens surface is concave and follows a surface curvature (K) and an annular gap is formed at the edge of the front lens surface between the lens body and the frame, said gap being used to apply a negative pressure in order to fix the contact glass to the eye. The frame is designed to follow the contour of an imaginary continuation of the surface curvature (K), or at least does not project beyond the latter.

Contact glass for ophthalmic surgery

A contact glass for ophthalmic surgery, including a concave anterior lens surface for placement on the eye and a suction channel annularly surrounding the periphery of the anterior lens surface. The suction channel allows the contact glass to be fixed to the eye by means of a vacuum, it is envisaged that the suction channel comprise a multiplicity of suction orifices, which are annularly arranged with respect to the anterior lens surface and through which the vacuum acts on the eye.

A subassembly for generating an optically active slit with a changeable slit width s, preferably for slit lamps, with two slit jaws which are displaceable relative to one another at a straight-line guide and between which the slit is formed, wherein one of two guide paths is allocated to each slit jaw. In a subassembly for generating an optically active slit, the guide paths are formed at portions of a guide rail which project out freely in the displacement directions of the slit jaws from a clamping position which is fixed with respect to the frame. The guide rail can accordingly expand without hindrance in the displacement direction under the influence of temperature without the parallelism of the slit being affected thereby.

The invention is directed to an arrangement for tiltably journalling an ophthalmologic treatment and/or examining apparatus. The arrangement includes a mount and an arcuate guide fixedly attached at an end thereof to the mount. Guide elements are mounted on the apparatus for movably guiding the apparatus along the arcuate guide to tilt the apparatus to a desired position. A pressure-spring device has a first end pivotally connected to the apparatus and a second end pivotally connected to the mount whereby the weight of the apparatus is compensated as the apparatus is tilted when moved along the arcuate guide. The arrangement further includes a mechanism for blocking and deblocking the spring action of the pressure-spring device. A lever assembly imparts a tilting movement to the apparatus. The lever assembly has a first pivot connection whereat the Lever assembly is connected to the mount and a second pivot connection whereat the lever assembly is connected to the apparatus.
