Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A navigation apparatus for optically analyzing an inner structure of an optical element and processing that element includes a detection device and a processing device. The detection device has an aperture smaller than 0.25 and the processing device is disposed relative to the analyzed inner structure of the optical element. An apparatus for planning therapy for a human eye includes a dynamic wavefront measurement device for acquiring wavefront data, a diagnostic device for determining geometric parameters of the optical apparatus of the eye, a controller for consistent superposition of the wavefront and geometric data, and an additional controller for planning the most efficient therapeutic laser cutting paths.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A navigation apparatus for optically analyzing an inner structure of an optical element and for processing the optical element, the apparatus comprising: a detection device having an aperture smaller than 0.25; and a processing device configured to process the inner structure and adapted to be guided along or in a fixed relationship to the inner structure of the optical element. 2. The navigation apparatus as recited in claim 1 , whe…
