SCHWIND eye‑tech‑solutions, Germany
The most innovative laser from the leading German manufacturer for laser vision correction using the SmartSight method. These laser vision correction methods represent the third generation of refractive laser surgery in the form of Refractive Lenticule Extraction (RLE), in addition to FemtoLASIK/LASIK and PRK technologies.
The innovative femtosecond laser SCHWIND ATOS enables minimally invasive lenticule extraction as well as corneal flap creation during the FemtoLASIK procedure. The combination of advanced technologies and ergonomic design ensures safety and precision in refractive surgery.
ADVANTAGES
Safety thanks to an intelligent eye‑tracking system and cyclotorsion compensation. Safety through tracking‑assisted centration. SCHWIND ATOS is equipped with an advanced eye‑tracking system. Built‑in pupil recognition and cyclotorsion compensation functions ensure high‑precision lenticule centration relative to the visual axis, effectively correcting refractive errors, especially astigmatism. Centration is made easy thanks to eye tracking, and the built‑in monitor positioned directly in front of the surgeon’s face adds extra convenience.
Precise procedure with high‑quality centration even in high‑grade astigmatism. Compact, intuitive, intelligent. The SCHWIND ATOS laser system has a small footprint and base area, so the laser occupies minimal space in the operating room. SCHWIND ATOS is controlled via two touchscreens (24‑inch and 10‑inch) with intuitive software. Thanks to a user‑friendly interface and ergonomic design, the clinical use of SCHWIND ATOS is safe and efficient.
The curved shape of the patient interface provides ideal eye comfort. The curved patient interface with an enhanced vacuum system perfectly matches the curvature of the eye. The ergonomic design with an integrated filter eliminates the need for additional tubing and ensures optimal eye‑to‑laser contact. The interface configuration follows the limbal shape and significantly reduces pressure on the eyeball during contact. SCHWIND ATOS uses the same interface both for lenticule creation during SmartSight and for corneal flap formation during FemtoLASIK, adding extra convenience. These criteria improve procedure safety, patient comfort, and surgeon workflow efficiency.
Improved lenticule geometry promotes greater tissue preservation.
User‑friendly interface with an intuitive planning algorithm for an efficient workflow.
Ability to create large‑diameter flaps thanks to the innovative contact surface design of the interface. Corneal flaps for a larger optical zone. The versatile SCHWIND ATOS laser system can be used to create flaps of various diameters, including large flaps for hyperopia or mixed astigmatism correction.
SMARTSIGHT. Correction of refractive errors without corneal flap creation. This minimally invasive lenticule extraction technology includes intelligent eye tracking and cyclotorsion compensation. SmartSight is a precise and gentle vision correction method that leaves the superficial corneal layers almost completely intact. The SmartSight procedure allows correction of high‑grade myopia and astigmatism.
Micro‑incision technology. Gentle and minimally invasive. During the SmartSight procedure, the SCHWIND ATOS system creates a lenticule of the desired size within the corneal stroma and makes a small peripheral incision in the superficial corneal layer for lenticule access. The SmartSight procedure involves the transection of fewer nerve fibres on the corneal surface, reducing the likelihood of postoperative dry eye syndrome. After the laser step of the procedure, the surgeon can easily remove the lenticule through the small incision while viewing through the built‑in microscope. During SmartSight, no flap is created, and there is no laser ablation as used with excimer lasers.
