How does SmartSight work with the Schwind ATOS?

The Schwind ATOS laser forms a pre-calculated lenticule in the corneal tissue. This lenticule is removed through small incisions, which are also made by the femtosecond laser. The procedure is extremely gentle on the tissue, as the incisions are only around three millimetres in size. Flap-related risks and complications are therefore completely eliminated. The microscope connected to the ATOS facilitates the removal of the lenticule.

By removing the lenticule, the visual or refractive error is corrected so that the patient no longer suffers from the previous visual defect after the minimally invasive procedure.

All surgical steps can be performed with the Schwind ATOS. This ensures a short operation time, the patient does not have to be treated with a second device and the surgeon is supported by software features.

Who can be treated with the Schwind ATOS laser?

Treatment with SmartSight is suitable for people who suffer from short-sightedness or astigmatism (also known as astigmatism). For the Schwind ATOS femtosecond laser to be used, the following threshold values must be met:

A cornea that is too thin, corneal scarring, a cataract or instability of the visual defect can be exclusion criteria, but these are discovered during a preliminary examination. For patients who cannot be treated with ATOS, there are numerous other procedures for correcting visual defects.
