Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021239605A1] The invention relates to a UV-laser-based system, UVL-LVC system (100), for correcting the impaired vision of a patient's eye (10). The UVL-LVC system (100) has a UV-laser source (102), which is designed to emit laser radiation in order to treat the patient's eye (10), and imaging optics (124) for focusing the laser radiation onto the cornea (12) of the patient's eye (10), wherein the imaging optics (124) are designed to allow a detection of a reflection (126) of radiation, which is emitted onto the cornea (12) of the patient's eye (10) by means of the imaging optics (124) and is at least partly reflected back by the cornea (12) of the patient's eye (10), back into the imaging optics at an acceptance angle χΜαχ of at least 2.5°. The invention additionally relates to a method for centering a UVL-LVC system (100).
