Kleinostheim, Germany, and Port, Switzerland—Schwind eye-tech-solutions and Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems have formed a marketing alliance to offer an integrated system featuring their lasers (Amaris excimer and Femto LDV femtosecond, respectively) for refractive surgeons performing all-laser LASIK.
“Ziemer’s femtosecond laser is an ideal complement to our product range and offers attractive added value for our existing and new customers,” said Rolf Schwind, chief executive officer of Schwind.

The two companies will serve international markets through their existing distribution networks. Distribution partners jointly will offer packages to their customers.
