A method of providing optometric parameters for an optometric procedure includes locating patient identification information on a central data storage by transmitting a search query from a computing device communicating with the central data storage. The search query generates a result set containing at least one patient having patient identification information substantially matching the search query. From the result set, a patient undergoing the optometric procedure is selected. An input form for this patient is then displayed with input fields corresponding to each of the optometric parameters. A qualified collector obtains the measurement values for the optometric parameters and inputs them into respective input fields. A data record containing the measurement values and the patient identification information is generated and transmitted to the central data storage. The data record can then be transmitted to a planning tool communicating with the central data storage for performing the optometric procedure.

A method for controlling a device for the treatment or refractive correction of the human eye using an electronic data processing system provides a simple overview of the influence of all of the parameters. To this end, once the operating parameters have been determined, a graphical simulation of the operating procedure is carried out in the form of a graphical visualization.

Method for controlling a device for treating the human eye

A method for measuring the dynamic behavior of an optical system is aimed at rendering the dynamic behavior of the optical system objectively detectable. To this end, the optical system to be measured is stimulated by stimuli whereby causing it to react, and the reaction is detected by means of a wave front analysis.

A device for the subjective determination of aberrations of higher orders Xi in an optical system, in particular in an eye includes at least one observation channel into which defined plates can be introduced, the individual plates having optically active structures which correspond to a defined Zernike polynomial and to a defined amplitude, at least one order Xi of the Zernike polynomial being greater than two.

A method for identifying the site of an operation during an operation, in particular using a laser system, with the help of unique data about the operation site. A first copy of the unique data is stored in a laser system, the unique data being located in the vicinity of the operation site and/or directly at said operation site. Before the start of the operation, the first copy and the unique data are compared to verify if they are identical and the result of said verification is forwarded to the laser system. In addition a device for identifying an operation site during an operation includes a laser system having a storage unit for storing data and a reading unit configured to determine unique data about the operation site and to provide a first copy of the unique data to the storage unit. The device also includes a comparator device operably connected to the storage device and configured to compare the first copy and the unique data for identity.

Method and device for identifying an eye that is to be treated in operations

The invention relates to a device for the three-dimensional representing of an operative field, especially of an eye, during laser operations. The inventive device comprises a three-dimensional recording system, an image processing system and a three-dimensional display unit.

Method and device for representing an operative field during laser operations

The invention relates to a method and to a device for completely correcting visual defects of the human eye. The invention mentions combinations of measuring and treatment methods that allow the complete correction of defects of the human eye if applied according to the invention. Measuring methods are used that precisely detect the surface of the cornea and that also register the aberrations that occur in the beam path up to the retina. The computer-assisted evaluation of these measurement results combined with the calculation of optimally corrected lenses (for example after a cataract operation) or of optimally correcting cornea surfaces makes it possible to produce a patient-specific lens and/or to shape the retina so that it optimally corrects the aberration. To this end, the invention preferably uses a spot scanning excimer laser system and makes use of the topography of the eye.
