Shaping the future of refractive surgery together!
On 6 and 7 November 2026, SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions hosted its 2nd German-speaking SCHWIND User Meeting at Seehotel Niedernberg and the company's headquarters in Kleinostheim, Germany. The two-day event brought together leading refractive surgeons, SCHWIND users from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as international experts to discuss the latest developments, clinical experiences, and innovative treatment concepts across the SCHWIND product portfolio.
The event opened on Friday with a hands-on seminar program held in the modern SCHWIND showroom. The focus was on AMARIS®, CustomEyes®, Foresight®, ATOS®, and PresbyMAX®, complemented by practical insights and clinical experiences shared by leading specialists from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Through real-world case examples, the speakers demonstrated how they integrate SCHWIND technologies into their daily clinical practice and continuously optimize patient outcomes. Participants also received updates on the new graphical user interface of SCHWIND systems, modern service and support concepts, and digital marketing strategies for ophthalmic practices.
Saturday was dedicated to scientific exchange. During several expert sessions, international speakers presented current findings and clinical experiences related to the use of the ATOS femtosecond laser, personalized treatments with CustomEyes® and Foresight®, presbyopia correction with PresbyMAX®, and therapeutic applications using the SCHWIND TheraCare® Toolbox.
Highlights of the scientific program included presentations on innovative procedures such as Epithelial All-Femto Surface Excision (EASE), managing patient expectations in refractive surgery, virtual postoperative corneal simulation, and the latest developments in lenticule technology. The program was further enriched by numerous case discussions, practical experience reports, and opportunities for direct exchange with internationally recognized experts in refractive surgery. Speakers demonstrated how personalized treatment approaches and advanced diagnostic technologies can help deliver even more precise outcomes tailored to individual patient needs.
The user meeting provided participants with valuable opportunities to learn from one another and gain new insights for their daily practice. In addition to the scientific sessions, the evening program at Seehotel Niedernberg offered ample networking opportunities and encouraged personal discussions among users, speakers, and SCHWIND experts.
