Abstract
An apparatus for the observation and treatment of the eye with a laser, having an illumination light source, whose light is focussed on the part of the eye to be observed and which preferably contains a laser, a scanning device, which generates a scanning movement of the light of the illumination light source on the background of the eye, a detector device, which receives the reflected light, an evaluation and synchronization unit, which generates from the time-sequential signal output of the detector device a visual representation of the portions of the eye to be treated and shows the visual representation, on a monitor, and a treatment laser device, whose light can be reflected on the part of the eye to be treated. The apparatus provides that a visual representation in which the location or locations to be treated are marked, can be superimposed on the visual representation of the eye at least on the monitor, and a control unit aligns the laser to the marked location.
