There is proposed an apparatus for eye surgery, which comprises a stand (24) having a stand base (32) that is movable or realized for mounting on a wall or ceiling, and having a stand arm arrangement (34, 36) that is manually adjustable, at least partially, relative to the stand base, an operation microscope (38) being attached to the stand arm arrangement. Further, the eye-surgery apparatus comprises a laser appliance, which provides pulsed, focussed laser radiation having radiation properties suited to the application of incisions in the human eye (14). The laser appliance comprises a laser source (20) and a laser treatment head (26) that is attached to the stand arm arrangement (34, 36) and emits the laser radiation, a flexible transmission fibre (22) or a jointed beam transport arm being provided for the purpose of transporting the laser radiation to the laser treatment head. The laser treatment head (26) is positioned or positionable in an observation beam path of the operation microscope (38) and provides a passage (52) for an observation beam going along the observation beam path. According to one embodiment, the laser treatment head (26) can be moved out of a position of use, in which it is positioned over the eye (14) and under the operation microscope (38), into a non-use position, in which it is at a distance from the working region of the operating physician (40) and the latter, through the operation microscope (38), has a direct view of the eye (14) to be treated.
