1. A method of ophthalmic surgery, wherein at least one cut is made in a cornea by application of a treatment device with a laser device, comprising:
providing corneal data, based on data of a correction of refraction;
determining a pocket cut in the cornea, the pocket cut being configured to receive an implant therein and having a cap overlying the pocket cut;
determining at least one corneal relief cut on the basis of the corneal data, and
creating a control data set for the at least one corneal relief cut; and
transmitting the control data to the treatment device and creating the at least one corneal relief cut by controlling the laser device with the control data set to generate the at least one corneal relief cut to a depth less than a thickness of the cap overlying the pocket cut in the cornea and located in the cap overlying the pocket cut;
wherein the at least one corneal relief cut is determined so that existing refractive errors are counteracted after inserting an implant in the cornea.
