German Company Introduces New Laser
The German company, Schwind, recently introduced a new high performance excimer laser that shortens times for procedures such as LASIK. Built-in features of the new laser include continuous measurements of the eye's surface (corneal) thickness.
Schwind officials say the new excimer laser can reshape an eye at the rate of less than 2.5 seconds per diopter of correction. An eye tracker that helps keep the laser beam on target has a response time of approximately three milliseconds.
The new excimer laser, known as Amaris, was unveiled in September 2007 at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) conference in Stockholm.
