ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for generating a control program for ophthalmologic LASIK surgery, with which a pulsed laser system (12, 14, 16) can be controlled for the photodisruptive cutting of a flap, having the following steps:obtaining empirical data, which relate to the effect in particular of flap shapes and ablation profiles on postoperative refractive results,obtaining measurement data relating to the eye to be treated,calculating an optimal cutting shape for the photodisruptive cutting of the flap by taking into account the said empirical data and the said measurement data, andgenerating the control program on the basis of the calculated cutting shape.
