With its 750 Hz repetition rate and 6D eye tracking, the SCHWIND AMARIS 750S is an exceptionally high-speed, high-precision eye laser system for refractive and therapeutic corneal surgery. The very fine 0.54 mm laser spot it shares with all SCHWIND AMARIS lasers further enhances the precision and smooth corneal modelling of this device. The swivelling laser arm provides the maximum convenience for doctor and patient.

The SCHWIND AMARIS 750RS can be used with all standard laser treatment methods, including SCHWIND’s touch-free SmartSurfACE with its faster healing and faster vision recovery than with traditional surface treatments. With SCHWIND CAM treatment planning, the AMARIS product family covers a uniquely broad range of applications.

Treatment success is enhanced by SCHWIND’s proprietary active 6D eye tracker which enables a unique level of precision. It is linked to the SCHWIND diagnostic systems and captures all eye motion (static as well as dynamic) during the procedure, for outstanding outcomes.

During the procedure, it precisely determines and compensates for the following eye movement dimensions:

  1. X-axis
  2. Y-axis
  3. Horizontal rolling
  4. Vertical rolling
  5. Eye rotation around the visual axis: static and dynamic cyclotorsion
  6. Z-axis: active compensation for upward and downward movements

Changes in pupil size are detected, and the laser is adjusted as necessary. In conjunction with the 6D eye tracker, this automatic function ensures correct centring throughout the procedure.

The very fast repetition rate and very short ablation time of 1.5 seconds per dioptre* provide more patient safety and comfort. The risk of corneal dehydration is minimised. It also reduces the time during which the patient has to fixate on the green light.

*LASIK, no astigmatism, 12.5 mm HSA, 6 mm optical zone

The modular SCHWIND CAM software facilitates optimum treatment planning for a very wide range of applications in refractive and therapeutic corneal surgery. SCHWIND CAM takes into account all diagnostic data, including corneal wavefront, ocular wavefront and pachymetry (central cornea thickness).

The modules are:

•  ORK-CAM for refractive corneal surgery
•  PresbyMAX for presbyopia treatment
•  PTK-CAM for therapeutic corneal surgery

The KPL (keratoplasty) option in PTK-CAM supports safe and precise corneal transplants for patients for whom perforating keratoplasty is indicated.

The SCHWIND AMARIS family works with all common treatment methods. This includes SCHWIND’s innovative SmartSurfACE technology. SmartSurfACE combines the benefits of touch-free TransPRK surface treatment with innovative SCHWIND SmartPulse technology. In TransPRK, vision is precisely corrected through the top layers of the cornea, gently and without touching the eye.

It works without suction, cut or incision. SmartPulse leaves the cornea surface smoother after lasering, accelerating the healing process. The patient experiences more comfortable treatment and faster recovery.

Higher safety through corneal temperature monitoring and laser pulse sorting for minimum heating, resulting in very gentle ablation

Balanced pulse number and energy for the perfect combination of fast treatment and high corneal smoothness

Lamp integrated in the workflow – Ready to use immediately, no additional adjustment necessary

Comfort and convenience for patient, doctor and assistants

Integrated plume evacuation and filter for clean operating theatre air

Continuous corneal thickness measurement means enhanced safety

Clever management of your treatment data for reliable decisions

Immediate postoperative control down to the deep layers of the cornea

Simplified data administration through secure and straightforward connection of SCHWIND technologies; data is always accessible without the need for SD cards or USB sticks and the associated handling

Easier operation through controlled sequence of the operation steps light intensity, microscope magnification, OCP use and fixation points; each step is individually adjustable
