Abstract
A method for determining data for adapting a reflective surface to a desired surface, includes the steps of determining spatial co-ordinates of a multiple number of points of a surface and entering the determined spatial co-ordinates into a computer as a data record. Recorded in the computer are then shape and/or position of a desired surface, with the shape and/or position of the desired surface being variable. The computer calculates for the multiple number of points on the surface the spacing to the desired surface. The spatial co-ordinates and spacings of the multiple number of points are then outputted as a data record for adjusting the surface. By simulating the treatment process on the computer in advance, it is possible to select the optimal treatment process and to eliminate regional unevenness on the cornea.
