Abstract
The above described apparatus and methods provide the possibility to reduce or even eliminate the effects of delay between image acquisition and laser ablation. Thus this will lead to less positioning errors and therefore to better ablation results in laser refractive surgery. The importance of this invention will increase with decreasing ablating beam diameter. The use of synchronization leads to shorter delay times. Hence it follows that the duration of the whole treatment decreases as well.
