title: [Automatic tracking system for laser surgery of the human cornea].
abstract: An automatic, closed loop, real-time tracking device is described. The purpose of this device is, despite movements of the eye, to keep the laser beam correctly on target while performing corneal surgery. This type of laser surgery, is employed specifically to ablate some of the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
