Abstract
The invention relates to a laser treatment unit for performing eye surgery, comprising a contact glass (), which can be placed onto the eye () and via which a treatment laser beam () passes. A safety mechanism () is provided that displaceably holds the contact glass () in such a manner that the contact glass retreats when the contact glass () is subjected to the action of a force contrary to the direction of incidence of the laser beam. The safety mechanism () enables this retreating when a force is greater than a force limit value (Fmin) and holds the contact glass () in a fixed manner when the force is less than the force limit value.
