Claim 0:
1. A method of treating an eye, comprising:
measuring a first corneal topography of the eye;
determining a first curvature of the cornea based on the first corneal topography, and determining a target curvature of the cornea that treats the eye;
determining a first set of incisions in the cornea to achieve the target curvature of the cornea;
determining a first set of first partial incisions in the cornea, wherein the first partial incisions are smaller than the incisions of the first set of incisions;
performing the first set of first partial incisions on the cornea by a laser;
measuring a second corneal topography after performing the first set of first partial incisions;
determining a second curvature of the cornea based on the second corneal topography;
determining whether the second curvature differs from the target curvature by more than a threshold which indicates that the second curvature matches the target curvature;
when it is determined that the second curvature and the target curvature do not differ by more than the threshold, then ending treatment of the eye; and
when it is determined that the second curvature and the target curvature differ by more than the threshold, then:
determining a second set of incisions in the cornea different from the first set of incisions to achieve the target curvature in the cornea;
determining a second set of second partial incisions in the cornea, wherein the second partial incisions of the second set of partial incisions are equal to or smaller than the incisions of the second set of incisions; and
performing the second set of second partial incisions on the cornea by the laser.
