Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021239601A1] The invention relates to ultraviolet laser-based (UVL) laser vision correction (LVC) systems (50), that is to say to systems for refractive error correction by means of laser radiation. The invention furthermore relates to a contact interface (10) and a contact interface system (1) for such a UVL-LVC system (50). The problem addressed thereby is that of proposing a coupling and affixation between the patient's eye (110) and the UVL-LVC system (50) by means of a contact interface (10) for the purposes of preventing eye movements when using UVL-LVC systems (50). This problem is solved by a UVL-LVC system (50) with a base unit (52) and an application arm (55) which has a contact interface adapter (40) on the application part (60) of the application arm, to which a contact interface (10) is able to be affixed, the latter being able to be used to affix a patient's eye (110) to the UVL-LVC system. Moreover, this problem is solved by a contact interface (10) with a conical wall (11) and a suction ring (12) but without a lens element, and preferably with an access opening (14) or with a corresponding contact interface system (1) made of contact interface adapter (40) and contact interface (10).
