SmartSight is an up-to-date femtosecond laser procedure without a flap. This advancement in minimally invasive lenticule extraction features intelligent eye tracking with pupil recognition and cyclotorsion compensation. 

SmartSight is a precise and gentle treatment method, which leaves the upper corneal layers largely untouched. The SmartSight procedure can be used to treat myopia as well as astigmatism. Refractive correction is performed entirely with the SCHWIND ATOS. The patient can remain in one position for all treatment steps. This results in fast treatment with high comfort for the patient and well thought-out workflow benefits for the surgeon in every phase.

In the SmartSight procedure, the SCHWIND ATOS creates a predefined lenticule in the intrastromal tissue of the cornea, and makes small peripheral incisions in the top corneal layer for lenticular access. This minimally invasive procedure results in fewer nerve transections in the cornea surface, reducing the potential for postoperative incidence of dry eye. 

After lasering, the surgeon, looking through the microscope included in SCHWIND ATOS, can easily remove the lenticule through the small access incisions. SmartSight uses no corneal flap of any kind, and there is no laser ablation like there is with excimer lasers.

The SCHWIND ATOS has a sophisticated eye tracking system. Its pupil recognition and cyclotorsion compen sation provide precise centring of the patient’s eye along the visual axis. 

The centring options and cyclotorsion TREAT compensation make it possible to treat vision deficien cies effectively, especially astigmatism. The centring can be performed easily. A monitor directly in the surgeon’s field of vision provides additional convenience.

The curved patient interface geometry gives an excellent fit with the eye. It has improved suction and is ready for use in just two steps. The innovative design with integral filter function eliminates the need for additional tubes and filters, and ensures optimum contact of the eye with the laser system. The shape follows the corneal limbus, and substantially reduces pressure on the eye during the contacting process. 

The suction time and the incision procedure are kept as short as possible. The SCHWIND ATOS uses the same patient interface for lenticule extraction with SmartSight and for making precise flaps in FemtoLASIK, giving it high flexibility. It all adds up to safety and comfort for the patient, and an efficient workflow for the surgeon.

As flexible as the requirements

Flaps for large treatment zones

Particularly in the excimer laser treatment of hyperopia and mixed astigmatism, the SCHWIND ATOS can be used to create flaps of various diameters. This precision tech nology from SCHWIND is based on a sophisticated contact glass design and can be used highly flexibly, even for large flaps and treatment diameters.

The SCHWIND ATOS features trim dimensions and a small footprint. This makes this compact femtosecond laser highly flexible for use in refractive surgery. The SCHWIND ATOS is controlled via two high-resolution 24- and 10-inch touch screens (PCT) and intuitive software. The clear interface and user-friendly operating design help make clinic use safe and efficient. 

The monitor and keyboard are mounted on a swivelling arm that lets the user adjust the position to suit, and then fold them back against the body of the machine for easier repositioning in the clinic. With its fast system check, the SCHWIND ATOS is ready for use within a short period of time. It can be used alone or in combination with a SCHWIND AMARIS family excimer laser.
