    Abstract: A system for supporting and aligning a patient during a color alteration procedure includes a laser system that delivers a laser in a first direction. A control computer may be adjacent the laser system for controlling the laser system. The control computer system may include a user interface in a first plane substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The system may include a patient support structure having a patient support surface extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and configured to be adjustable to set a patient position or alignment relative to the laser system. Coarse adjustment hardware may be configured to cause automated and/or manual adjustments to the patient support surface in the first direction. Fine adjustment hardware may be configured to cause automated fine adjustments to the patient support surface in the first direction based on instructions received from the control computer.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing control data for presbyopia reversion for an ophthalmological laser (12) of a treatment apparatus (10). As steps, the method includes determining (S10) presbyopia correction data for presbyopia correction of a cornea (16), wherein an originally uniform visual acuity of the cornea (16) is changed into multifocal areas by application of the presbyopia correction data, wherein the presbyopia correction data is stored in a database (24); retrieving (S12) the stored presbyopia correction data of the cornea (16) from the database (24), if the multifocal areas of the cornea (16) are to be adapted or cancelled at a subsequent point of time; determining (S14) control data for adapting or cancelling the multifocal areas depending on the retrieved presbyopia correction data; and providing (S16) the control data for controlling the ophthalmological laser (12) of the treatment apparatus (10).
