A laser beam ophthalmological surgery method includes the steps of generating a laser beam (12) and splitting the generated laser beam (12) into multiple laser beams (14, 15) which are simultaneously focused onto a plurality of scanners (16, 21, 45, 46, 48, 50). Each scanner (16, 21, 45, 46, 48, 50) in turn produces a predetermined scanning pattern focused on the cornea (20) of a patient's eye (24) to ablate the cornea tissue and with at least two beams (25, 26) simultaneously scanning and ablating the cornea tissue. Scanning is controlled from a central processing unit (27) to perform the surgical procedure, removing a laser thickness of the cornear tissue to provide a safer and more predictable surgical procedure in the reshaping of the cornea. A laser ophthalmological surgery apparatus (10) is provided which includes a laser (11) generating a laser beam (12), a beam splitter (13, 44) for splitting the laser beam (12) into a plurality of laser beams (14, 15), and a plurality of scanners (16, 21, 45, 46, 48, 50), each positioned for receiving one of the laser beams from the beam splitter (13, 44) and producing a predetermined scanning pattern from the laser beam (12) and impinging the scanning pattern upon the cornea (20) of a patient's eye (24).
