Why we use Schwind lasers - a quick guide to our world-class laser tech
At Medownick, we believe your vision deserves the best. That’s why we use the Schwind Amaris and Schwind ATOS laser systems, considered among the most advanced laser platforms in the world.
But what does that actually mean for you?
Here’s a quick breakdown - in plain English - of why our laser technology matters, and how it helps deliver the safest, most precise results possible.
Trusted worldwide for accuracy and safety
Schwind lasers are German-engineered, and used worldwide by leading vision clinics. They’re known for delivering:
- Exceptional precision
- Customised treatments
- Reliable outcomes
In other words: this is the tech top surgeons choose when they want the best for their patients.
Tailored to your unique eyes
Our eyes are like fingerprints: no two are the same.
Schwind’s advanced scanning technology maps your cornea in thousands of ultra-fine points, allowing us to:
- Detect even the subtlest variations in shape
- Adjust your laser treatment in real time
- Create a plan designed specifically for your vision
This level of customisation leads to clearer results, less risk of glare or halos, and a faster return to normal life.
Numbing drops only, no needles
Many people worry about pain or injections near the eye, but there’s no need.
Using our Schwind lasers:
- We use gentle anaesthetic eye drops, not needles
- You’ll be awake and comfortable the entire time
- The procedure typically takes just minutes (sometimes less than one minute)
Speed + precision = shorter recovery
Schwind systems track even the tiniest movements of your eye - in real time - so the laser stays locked exactly where it should be. That means:
- Minimising side effects
- Maximising stable outcomes
- And often, a faster recovery
In fact, many patients are back to work, workouts, or weekend plans in as little as one day (depending on the procedure).
Why we don't compromise
At Medownick, we’ve been leading laser vision correction in Australia for more than 30 years, and we only invest in technology that matches our exacting standards.
