Abstract
An ophthalmic surgical system for treating an eye comprises a laser device and computer. The laser device directs laser pulses at a treatment frequency towards the eye according to a shot list, which comprises a sequence of laser shots and corresponding locations. The sequence of laser shots comprises substrings, where each substring indicates a local shot frequency at a location. The number of laser shots in a substring depends on the treatment frequency. The computer performs the following for the substrings: if there is a change in the treatment frequency, adjust the number of laser shots in a substring; check whether the substring indicates that a local shot frequency satisfies a maximum local frequency at the treatment frequency; and if the local shot frequency fails to satisfy the maximum local frequency, adjust the shot list such that the local shot frequency satisfies the maximum local frequency.
