See clearly without glasses or contacts. Enjoy life with full vision with these easy steps.
Each patient requires an individual pre-examination and diagnosis. The decision for treatment is made by an eye specialist. Only an eye surgeon can advise you on the treatment options that are best for you.
All laser treatment options have in common that the shape of the cornea is modified by a laser.
The excimer laser either models the cornea through the epithelium (surface treatment, no cut) or within the corneal tissue (under the flap or by creating a lenticule).
All laser treatments take only a few minutes and are done with locally anaesthetizing eye drops. There is no pain during the treatment.
TransPRK by SCHWIND is the only surface treatment in which the eye is not touched by any instrument.
The excimer laser models the cornea through the epithelium. The top corneal layer grows back quickly.
The treatment provides good vision quality immediately after the treatment. Vision quality may vary within the next 3-6 months until it stabilizes.

Comfortable, fast and safe: The SCHWIND laser eye procedure
When performing laser procedures, eye surgeons apply the laws of physics. The overall refractive power of the eye is modified so that the light strikes the retina correctly again. The most commonly used method is LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis), in which an extremely thin corneal flap is prepared on the eye. The eye surgeon folds that flap over to one side. In this way, the pulses of the excimer laser strike the interior of the cornea directly and remove a few micrometres of tissue, depending on the degree of correction required. Immediately thereafter, the flap is carefully repositioned into its original position. The corneal flap adheres securely and grows back together with the rest of the cornea. The surface treatment TransPRK works without the need to prepare the cornea. Here, the SCHWIND AMARIS technology penetrates the regenerative surface layer of the cornea (epithelium) to remove tissue without touching the eye at all.
Why be treated with a laser? Why SCHWIND?
The reasons to be treated with a laser vary widely. Personal attitudes about beauty and attractiveness might play a role. And people who enjoy active sports or find it uncomfortable to wear glasses or contact lenses are glad to dispense with corrective lenses. SCHWIND AMARIS technology provides the ideal treatment of short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism, higher-order visual defects and presbyopia.
