Patent ID: 7721743

Claim:
Procedure for refractive laser surgery on a target object ( 14 ), comprising the following steps: (a) producing a femtosecond-pulse (fs-pulse) laser beam using a first laser beam source ( 3 ), (b) producing a UV laser beam using a second laser beam source ( 4 ), (c) directing the fs-pulse laser beam and the UV laser beam across a shared scanner device ( 13 ) for scanning onto the target object, wherein the fs-pulse laser beam travels along one optical path from one optical output ( 7 ) to the shared scanner device ( 13 ), the UV laser beam travels along a second optical path from a second optical output ( 9 ) to the shared scanner device ( 13 ), and in doing so, the fs-pulse laser beam and the UV laser beam travel at least partially along a shared part of the first and second optical paths ( 11 ) due to an overlap between the first optical path and the second optical path; and wherein the fs-pulse laser beam and the UV laser beam are guided with the aid of an optical guidance mechanism of the scanner device ( 13 ) and, cutting a slice of the cornea of the eye by using the fs-laser bean and performing an eyesight correction operation by using the UV laser beam.
