An apparatus for refractive lens surgery on the human eye, including: a laser device for separating tissue of the eye lens and capsular bag in a focus of pulsed laser radiation, a focus positioning device for setting and adjusting a location of the focus, a measuring apparatus for gathering the relative position of the eye lens and capsular bag, and a control device which reads data from the measuring apparatus and controls the focus positioning device, and which is designed to define and specify a pattern for the focus to the focus positioning device, the pattern separating tissue layers in the eye lens for the purposes of generating an accommodation space for an intralenticular intraocular lens. The accommodation space includes a cutout for a dimensionally-stable lens body of the intraocular lens and a peripheral fastening region for fixing the dimensionally-stable lens body at a single, predetermined, axial position.
