Mature patients are satisfied by being plano while they still can accommodate, and older patients
are happier by being slightly myopic as soon as they can not accommodate any more, or if are
constrained in their accommodation.
Considering all above-mentioned factors and adding them together, the profile definition for the
AMARIS Excimer laser results in the following attributes:
IMPORTANT NOTE
Please DO NOT perform your own nomogram adjustments based on
considerations of age factors of the patients since the laser is correcting for
it automatically.
The age-based nomogram, or profile definition, that is incorporated in SCHWIND AMARIS laser
systems progressively changes between 0 and 100 years of age while maintaining cornerstones
from our previous approach using three age-groups only.
In myopic cases, the AMARIS profiles include +5% overplanning for a “zero” year old patient, -
3% underplanning for a 40-year old and -10% underplanning for a 100-year old patient compared
to the reference value (100%).
In hyperopic cases, AMARIS profiles include +5% overplanning for a “zero” year old patient, +3%
overplanning for a 40-year old and neutral planning for a 100-year old patient compared to the
reference value (100%).
