1. A method for determining an eye position of an eye using a laser device for a set of smart glasses, the method comprising:
emitting light for scanning the eye along at least one scan line;
detecting a plurality of reflection beams of light reflected at the eye along the scan line to obtain a plurality of light intensity values, the light intensity values representing intensities of the reflection beams reflected along the scan line;
generating an image of the eye along the scan line using the light intensity values, a high light intensity value being assigned or being assignable to a reflection beam reflected at a retina of the eye and a light intensity value low in comparison to the high light intensity value being assigned or being assignable to a reflection beam reflected outside the retina of the eye; and
determining the eye position of the eye within the image using amplitudes of the light intensity values;
wherein in the determining, a covariant matrix of the image is determined from image moments, and wherein each of the image moments is a weighted average of the light intensity values assigned to image points or image pixels.
