Zusammenfassung:The assembly for laser treatment of ocular opacities consists of: a measurement system for obtaining depth information regarding ocular structures; a laser system; an eye-tracker unit; a display unit; and a control-and-operating unit. According to the invention, the control-and-operating unit is designed to determine, from the depth profiles, the depth of ocular structures relative to the depth of the laser focus, and, in particular for the retina and the capsular bag, to determine a blocked zone for the laser treatment. Furthermore, the control-and-operating unit is designed to generate, at least for the blocked zones of the retina and capsular bag and the laser focus, at least one tag in each case, the characteristic of which corresponds to the particular depth in the eye, in order to display these tags on the display unit and to overlay them with the live image. The invention relates to a partially automated therapy apparatus for laser treatment of ocular opacities in which two-dimensional views of the eye are combined with three-dimensional imaging from the measurement system.
