SmartSight is a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser treatment belonging to the so-called “SmartSight”. free (without flap) methods. They rely on the fact that inside the intact cornea is created a so-called “corneal”. lenticula (a thin section of the lens in the cornea). A minimally invasive incision is then made for the approach. The intraocular lens can then be removed through this small opening. It is also possible to use the so-called. Static cyclorotation compensation.
In the SmartSight procedure, the SCHWIND ATOS® femtosecond laser creates a predefined lens in the corneal interstitial tissue and makes small circumferential incisions in the upper corneal layer (without cutting through the corneal surface) for lens access. After using the laser, the surgeon, looking through the microscope built into the SCHWIND ATOS® device, can easily remove the lens through minimal incisions.
SmartSight does not require the creation of a corneal flap (flap), and there is no need for laser ablation as with excimer lasers – excimer lasers, which are responsible for correcting vision defects, belong to the group of non-thermal lasers; they provide the energy necessary to break molecular bonds, so the tissue is effectively vaporized – we get rid of it through ablation, not burning.
The SmartSight procedure can be used to treat myopia, as well as astigmatism. Refractive correction is performed entirely with SCHWIND ATOS. The patient can remain in one position during all stages of treatment. This results in rapid treatment with a high level of comfort for the patient and surgeon. SmartSight is a precise and gentle treatment method used in both private practice and clinical settings.
