1. A method of correcting vision on an unrestrained eye by ablating the eye's corneal tissue comprising: providing laser beam shots having a size; selecting an area of the cornea to which the laser beam shots will be applied; the size of the shots being smaller than the selected area of the cornea; selecting a pattern for the placement of the laser beam shots on the selected area of the cornea; the shots in the pattern having a spacing; the eye being unrestrained and capable of movement; placing the shots on the eye in the pattern to ablate corneal tissue; tracking a movement of the eye; and, moving the placement of the laser beam shots in relation to the tracked movement of the eye, so that spacing in the pattern is maintained as subsequent shots are placed on the eye.
