The SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser allows minimally invasive lens extraction (the shape of the application part, significantly reduces pressure on the eye during docking, active suction takes only slightly longer than the incision procedure itself), as well as the creation of corneal flaps using the FemtoLASIK method.

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. A new iteration of SmartSight’s innovative technology brings safety and precision to refractive corneal surgery. The SCHWIND ATOS can operate alone or in combination with the SCHWIND AMARIS family of excimer lasers.

Advantages of the SCHWIND ATOS® femtosecond laser:

  • safety through intelligent eye movement tracking and cyclotorsion compensation
  • precise centering, even with greater astigmatism
  • perfect fit to the eye (ergonomic design of the laser head)
  • Tissue saving due to the use of a precision lenticular geometry system (refined lenticular geometry is not limited by the minimum thickness of the cornea, the thickness of the flap can be the same at each site)
  • Better control of corneal thickness during the procedure
  • lenses and flakes made with SCHWIND ATOS have a homogeneous surface
  • The ability to create flaps of different diameters, including large flaps in large treatment zones (which is particularly useful in the treatment of hyperopia and mixed astigmatism)
  • Safety and convenience for the patient (use of the same interface in the lens extraction procedure in the SmartSight procedure and in the flap creation in the FemtoLASIK method)
  • perfect alignment of the laser head with the patient’s eye
  • innovative design with integrated filter, eliminates the need for additional tubes and filters and ensures optimal eye contact with the laser system
  • convenience for the surgeon (the monitor is placed directly in the field of view of the operating person, the monitor and keyboard are mounted on a rotating arm, allowing the user to change the working position at will)
  • very short treatment times (thanks to pulse frequencies as high as four megahertz, refined pulse characteristics and positioning algorithms)
