SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions has received CE approval for the SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser. According to Schwind this enables refractive surgeons to offer their patients SmartSight, the latest generation of lenticular extraction developed by SCHWIND, as a treatment option. The refractive correction is performed entirely with SCHWIND ATOS. Featuring intelligent eye tracking with pupil recognition and cyclotorsion compensation, the laser system provides precise centring of the patient’s eye along the visual axis. This ensures maximum safety and predictable treatment outcomes. SmartSight is suitable for the treatment of myopia and astigmatism up to five dioptres. In addition, SCHWIND ATOS offers high-precision flaps for FemtoLASIK. “With the CE approval for our femtosecond laser, we have reached another milestone,” said managing director Rolf Schwind. www.eye-tech-solutions.com
