EASE
Epithelial All-femtosecond Surface Excision
EASE introduces a new era in refractive surgery by bringing the precision of femtosecond technology to a surface based approach.
EASE utilizes near-infrared femtosecond laser energy from the SCHWIND ATOS to create a lentoid-shaped refractive profile through the intact epithelium – eliminating the need for UV light or flap / cap creation.
EASE is the first surface-based, all-femtosecond refractive procedure.
Designed to simplify adoption while expanding the capabilities of the SCHWIND ATOS platform.
A new surgical concept
- Innovative cap-free lentoid creation designed for a minimally invasive refractive procedure
- Precise 360° edge incision technology enabling smooth lentoid separation
This cap-free lentoid approach allows optimization of the refractive profile while preventing the formation of a stromal interface resulting from cap or flap creation.

Why EASE matters for surgeons
Technological advantages
- All-femtosecond workflow – no UV light required
- Minimal energy load (approx. 50 % of KLEx)
- Integrated eye-tracking and centration
- Cyclotorsion compensation during docking with intact epithelium
Clinical handling
- Easy learning curve with fast adoption
- Lentoid removal via peel-off technique
- Minimal need for stromal dissection (on demand)
Surgical efficiency
- Short treatment time
- Streamlined, single-platform workflow
- Smooth integration into existing femto-based practices
Expanded indication range
EASE expands your refractive portfolio:
- Ideal for thin corneas
- Suitable for dry eye patients
- Alternative for non-KLEx candidates
Patient-centric benefits
Optical quality
- High predictability through precise laser-tissue interaction
- Potentially reduced stromal roughness compared to KLEx
- Accurate astigmatism correction via cyclotorsion control
Biomechanics & safety
Preserves more corneal biomechanical stability compared to intra-corneal procedures
Healing & recovery
- Fast epithelial healing
- Rapid visual recovery
- Reduced inflammatory risk (no UV exposure)
Reduced risk profile
- Lower likelihood of post-operative haze
- Minimized stromal energy deposition
- Less epithelial damage compared to standard PRK
Coming from KLEx, EASE is very fine going. I quickly adopted the procedure without major problems – even with extensive SmartSight NOVA experience. EASE represents a safe, precise, and effective approach.
