Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cross-section of the cornea 1 is shown. The cornea has a pocket 2 produced by means of a femtosecond laser, in which an implant 3 is placed by introducing the implant 3 through an inlet 4 into the pocket 2 . A method for producing a pocket 2 in the cornea 1 by means of a femtosecond laser is described, for example, in DE 10 2006 053 120, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. The implant 3 can also be obtained from the cornea of ​​a donor eye by means of the same method. In this case, the implant 3 has exactly such a shape that the locally altered refractive power of the cornea 1 by inserting the implant 3 into the cornea 1 corrects the image of the eye in a desired manner. properties, wherein the implant 3 has a thin (less than 200 μm), generally flexible structure, must be light-transmissive and whose refractive index is adapted to that of the cornea 1, so that the implant can be used with conventional The...

Abstract

The invention relates to a corneal implant, in particular for placing in a corneal pocket, and to a device for fitting such an implant in place. To this end, the corneal implant for correcting defective vision, in particular of higher order, has at least one marking which permits a clear orientation of the implant in the cornea and is designed such that the visual impression is not impaired. The device has an observation arrangement and at least one illumination system for illuminating and exciting at least one marking of the corneal implant arranged in an eye.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a corneal implant, in particular a corneal implant for placement in a corneal pocket, and to a device for placing such an implant. Background technique [0002] It is known to treat refractive defects of the eye, ie visual defects, with the aid of lasers, in order to make the use of spectacles superfluous. [0003] On the one hand, corneal material can be evaporated and thereby ablated in a targeted manner by means of an excimer laser, so that the effect of refracted light by the cornea is changed so that visual defects are compensated. [0004] Another method is based on the separation and removal of essentially crystal-like tissue sections within the cornea by means of a femtosecond laser and through an open section. This method is known under the name FLEx (femtosecond laser lens excision). In this case, the dimensions of the tissue section are selected such that the resulting shape of the cornea after removal of t...
