1. A surgery system for performing eye surgery comprising:
a cutting device comprising a laser configured to cut a flap in a cornea of an eye undergoing eye surgery;
a shaping device comprising a laser configured to perform ablation of an interior part of the cornea;
at least one display configured to:
display a single image that simultaneously presents a graphical representation of a planned or actual flap location superimposed with a graphical representation of a planned area of ablation, the single image showing the planned flap location relative to the planned area of ablation, the graphical representation of the planned flap location associated with a plurality of flap parameters, the graphical representation of the planned area of ablation associated with a plurality of ablation parameters, the planned area of ablation comprising a plurality of ablation locations, the graphical representation of the planned area of ablation comprising a heat map of the planned area of ablation that represents each ablation location with a different color; and
a computer configured to:
receive an adjustment of the flap parameters;
adjust the planned flap location relative to the planned area of ablation shown in the single image by adjusting the graphical representation of the planned flap location according to the adjusted flap parameters;
receive an adjustment of the ablation parameters; and
adjust the planned area of ablation relative to the planned flap location shown in the single image by adjusting the map of the planned area of ablation according to the adjusted ablation parameters.
