Latest laser eye surgery technologies

After all, not every laser is equal, and if you are hoping for outstanding results, maximum comfort and the highest standards of safety in laser eye surgery, you'll need to be very sure that you have two things:

1. State-of-the-art laser technology, and 
2. Highly experienced and talented surgeons 

Or, to put this another way:

How safe would you feel in a Ferrari, if your teenaged neighbour on their P-plates was behind the wheel? How many races would a Formula 1 driver win if they were driving your Aunty Maree's 2003 Toyota Corolla?

Medownick lasers: gold-standard technology

At Medownick Laser Clinic, we routinely operate with two lasers, both of which are state-of-the-art, and provide the best possible results for our patients. We also make use of top-of-the-line ultrasound technology, and a suite of testing and measuring technologies that produce results with outstanding accuracy.

THE SCHWIND AMARIS EXCIMER LASER

The limited-edition Schwind Amaris Excimer Laser 1050RS is one of the most advanced excimer lasers in the world. At Medownick, we use it for our Touchless Robotic Trans-PRK, PRK/ASLA, femto-LASIK, and other smaller procedures. 

When it comes to outcomes, the Schwind Amaris is outstanding. It is capable of taking human sight beyond 20/20, and via Trans-PRK can do this without any form of instrumentation touching the eye.

Benefits at a glance*: 

• The world’s highest-performance eye laser for refractive and therapeutic corneal surgery
• Unparalleled patient safety and comfort through extremely fast ablation of 1.3 seconds per dioptre
• Unmatched precision through 7D eye tracking
• Uniquely broad range of applications with SCHWIND CAM
• Safe, gentle, and touch-free treatment withSmartSurfACE (based on LASIK, no astigmatism, 12.5 mm HSA, 6 mm optical zone)

We are thrilled that the Schwind Amaris gives our patients faster healing and faster vision recovery than traditional surface (PRK) treatments.

THE SCHWIND ATOS FEMTOSECOND LASER 

Our newest technological investment is the Schwind ATOS Femtosecond Laser, the next generation in lasers capable of performing lenticule extraction procedures (such as SmartSight) as well as LASIK.

Benefits at a glance**: 

• Low Dose: Faster visual recovery and minimal strain
• Tissue Saving: Improved lenticular geometry
• Telecentric Optics: Uniform spot quality for smoother cutting in periphery
• ICRS – Intra Corneal Ring Segment: Creates  corneal tunnel for ring segment implantation

Medownick has the only Schwind ATOS laser in Victoria.

This state-of-the-art laser combines innovative technology and intelligent design to maximise the safety of our patients, and ensures our patients receive the best possible vision outcomes when we perform SmartSight keyhole laser procedures.
