How does SmartSight work?
With SmartSight, the femtosecond laser forms a pre-calculated lenticule in the corneal tissue.
At the same time, it prepares small, peripheral incisions in the uppermost corneal layer.
The lenticule is extracted through these tiny incisions (approx. 2.5-3 mm).
The microscope integrated in the SCHWIND ATOS facilitates removal.
With SmartSight, there is no corneal flap, which can cause complications.
There is also no laser ablation – as with the excimer laser, for example.
This means that the tissue is gently cut out and not thrown away.
SmartSight advantages at a glance
It is not for nothing that EYELASER relies on SmartSight.
The innovative further development of minimally invasive lenticule extraction ensures precise, safe and tissue-friendly work.
The advantages of SmartSight are
- Safe thanks to intelligent eye tracking and cyclotorsion compensation
- Automated centering of the treatment (important for quality of vision)
- Comfortable and painless treatment thanks to molded contact element
- Short treatment duration
- Also suitable for higher astigmatism to achieve the best results
- Gentle on tissue thanks to intelligent lenticular geometry – fast healing
- Laser supports the surgeon with user-friendly functions and intuitive workflows

SmartSight treatment procedure
Lenticular extraction with the Schwind ATOS laser:
With the ATOS laser, the manufacturer Schwind-EyeTech-Solutions has created a new generation of femtosecond lasers that are ideal for performing SmartSight.
It enables minimally invasive lenticule extraction and flap creation with a single device.
The Schwind ATOS laser supports the surgeon with a number of innovative features that make the treatment even safer:
- Pupil detection in real time
- Cyclotorsion compensation and precise centering of the eye along the visual axis.
- Connection to diagnostic devices possible
Because the ATOS laser is so compact, it can be used flexibly and the patient can be treated comprehensively with just one device.
It is faster, more comfortable and safer.
Automatic cyclotorsion compensation makes the correction of astigmatism more precise.
The diagnostic image is compared in real time with the image taken during the operation.
In this way, errors – for example if the patient’s head is tilted – are automatically compensated for.
This ensures more precise correction of visual errors and safety.

Risks of the SmartSight method?
The SmartSight procedure is extremely safe and involves minimal risks for the patient.
The advanced technology of the laser and the gentle treatment make it possible.
In particular, the fact that there is practically no flap means that flap-related complications are ruled out.
The eye tracking of the Schwind ATOS prevents injuries and ensures maximum precision.
Immediately after treatment, there may be slight pain, itching or a foreign body sensation in the eye.
However, these symptoms are temporary and disappear within a few days.
You can wear sunglasses after the procedure to reduce the sensitivity of your eyes to light.
Permanent damage is extremely rare – not least because we act immediately in the event of problems and initiate the appropriate treatment steps.
However, before you decide on a procedure with SmartSight, your EYELASER surgeon will inform you in detail about all the risks and possible complications.
This is important so that you can make a fact-based decision for or against surgery and start the step towards a new, better life with a good feeling.
