The evolutionary premium model
The SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS is the product of continuous development work and is the most powerful excimer laser in the AMARIS product family. The innovative laser system delivers an unsurpassed repetition rate of 1050 Hz – currently one of the highest of all excimer lasers on the market – and consequently an extremely short ablation time of just 1.3 seconds per dioptre.1 That means even greater safety and comfort for the patient. The risk of the cornea drying out is minimised, and the length of time the patient has to fixate on the green light is reduced. It is a performance leap that increases safety and enhaces patient comfort.
Active 7D eye tracking means that the SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS combines space and time in an innovative technology. The state-of-the-art “Latency-Free Tracking” (virtual) takes account of eye movements occurring during the period between acquisition of the eye-tracker image and triggering of the subsequent laser pulses – thus, the new target position is known in advance. The ablation process without latency error offers enhanced precision to patient.

Benefits at a glance
*LASIK, without astigmatism, 12.5 HSA, 6 mm optical zone
Faster: 1050 Hz pulse rate
The extraordinarily fast repetition rate and extremely fast ablation of 1.3 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.

More precise: 7D eye tracking
Treatment success is enhanced by SCHWIND’s proprietary active 7D 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:
- X-axis
- Y-axis
- Horizontal rolling
- Vertical rolling
- Eye rotation around the visual axis: static and dynamic cyclotorsion
- Z-axis: active compensation for upward and downward movements
- Time: latency-free tracking predictively compensates for eye movement during the interval between acquisition of the eye tracker image and the next laser pulse.
Changes in pupil size are detected, and the laser is adjusted as necessary. In conjunction with the 7D eye tracker, this automatic function ensures correct centring throughout the procedure.
Versatile: SCHWIND CAM
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.
Touch-free and gentler to the eye: SCHWIND SmartSurfACE
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.
