CA 2123042

An apparatus and an improved method for ophthalmological surgery is disclosed. The apparatus and method are used to change the optical characteristics of an eye through subjecting the eye's cornea to ultraviolet irradiation therebyvolumetrically removing corneal tissue by way of photoablative decomposition. The apparatus and method further provide for subjecting a central portion of thecornea to increased ultraviolet irradiation and photoablative decomposition, over and above the irradiation of other corneal tissue. The effect is an increase in qualitative visual results while not significantly changing the refractive characteristic of the cornea.
