Statement

Bruce Allan, MD,

Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom

Technical advantages for the AMARIS including auto calibration, superior tracking, and

rapid treatment are reflected in strong clinical results verified in multi-centre clinical

trial data. In addition, there are two areas of particular strength for the AMARIS

platform platform that I would highlight. Firstly, its transepithelial treatment modality

(TransPRK) is very useful for therapeutic treatments - especially in keratoconus. Large

area, minimum depth OWF guided ablation patterns created using a programming

algorithm which is unique to the AMARIS have provided exciting early results in

combined TransPRK and corneal collagen cross-linking for patients with stage II-III

keratoconus and reduced spectacle corrected visual acuity. Secondly, the flexibility of

programming on the AMARIS platform helps to ensure that the right treatment options

are always available. Most laser platforms focus on either manifest refraction based or

wavefront guided treatment, AMARIS is equally strong for both - giving the surgeon a

free choice in their preferred treatment approach. My personal preference is for

wavefront guided treatment, but only in patients with a 6mm scan acquisition

diameter and a consistent scan sequence. Where this is not achieved, I can be

confident that the AMARIS has excellent compensation for induced aberrations in

treatment based on the manifest refraction. http://www.allan.vu/

Statement

David Sung Yong Kang, MD

EYEREUM Eye Clinic, Gangnam Gu, Seoul, South Korea

I have been using the AMARIS platform since its first debut - the AMARIS 500, 750S and

now the 1050RS. When you think it cannot get any better, Schwind surprises you once

again. I have performed over 20,000 procedures with the AMARIS platform and have

never wished to change the laser. Aberration free treatments in Femto LASIK and

LASEK modes are wonderful but Trans PRK is genius, integrating a complete no touch

technique that can be applied not only in virgin corneas but even in highly aberrated

eyes such as post-PKP. From low to high dioptre ablations, Trans PRK is a versatile

treatment method that gives the surgeon complete control and confidence.

Asymmetric ablation patterns to eyes with high offsets result in minimizing nocturnal

glare and maximising visual quality. I have applied the Amaris 1050RS to treat high

dioptre cases with congenital nystagmus resulting in perfectly centered postoperative

topographies. Static cyclotorsion control (SCC) together with dynamic cyclotorsion

control maximises safety and efficacy. Once SCC is established and the tracker is on,

the surgeon does not need to worry about tracker stability. Corneal Wavefront is a

technology where Schwind is truly outstanding. Decentrations, high amounts of coma

and even ectasia can be treated in combination with corneal crosslinking. Those

patients with highly aberrated eyes are no longer a fear but a welcome challenge for

me. http://www.eyereum.com

Optional Panel PC for treatment planing

Mednet – for which kind of laser clinics is it suitable?

For Laser Clinics:

• With several of our diagnostic systems (Scout, SIRIUS, Aberrometer)

• With far distances between the diagnostic system(s) and the AMARIS. When

doctors and staff do not want to carry by hand the SD-card with the planning data

from one system to another

• Which require a direct connection between SCHWIND and their internal IT system

• Which require a fast technical and (if necessary) application support by Schwind

Customer Support or the distributor through internet

• Which require their print outs at any network printer and not only in the operation

theatre or diagnostic room

• With a high volume of patient data (the server has unlimited capacity to store

data/topographies)

• Which would like to have the patient data stored through the clinical network

• Standalone Panel PC within the clinic can be used as data viewer and for treatment

planning's for diagnostic software and CAM

WHY
