An ultraviolet laser-based (UVL) laser vision correction (LVC) system, a contact interface and a contact interface system for such a UVL-LVC system. The invention facilitates a coupling and affixation between the patient's eye and the UVL-LVC system by application of a contact interface for the purposes of preventing eye movements when using UVL-LVC systems. The invention includes a UVL-LVC system with a base unit and an application arm which has a contact interface adapter on an application part of the application arm, to which a contact interface is affixable, the contact interface being usable to be to affix a patient's eye to the UVL-LVC system. The contact interface may have a conical wall and a suction ring but not a lens element, and optionally has an access opening or a corresponding contact interface system made of a contact interface adapter and a contact interface.
