Abstract:
1. A device for refractive eye surgery, comprising: a pulsed laser beam source, focusing optics to focus and guide the laser beam emitted by the pulsed laser beam source onto an eye, and a computer-assisted controller for controlling the focusing optics so that the foci of the guided laser beam are guided on a predetermined path on or in the eye, wherein the predetermined path includes a plurality of lines, each of the plurality of lines extending parallel to a common axis, wherein spacings of neighboring lines of the plurality of parallel lines of the predetermined path are varied such that the plurality of lines extending parallel to the common axis are spaced equally in a direction perpendicular to the common axis and the spacings of the neighboring foci in each line vary stochastically but within a predetermined deviation limit relative to a focal point spacing constant.
