2 SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions, Programme ESCRS ESCRS Congress 2015 Booth No. B20, Hall 7 Fira Barcelona Dear Eye Care Professional, We welcome you to this year s ESCRS Congress in Barcelona and cordially invite you to discover the benefits innovation leadership offers you. For example: The extremely precise diagnosis of corneal and ocular aberrations with the new SCHWIND PERAMIS diagnostic system, combining topography and newest-generation aberrometry functions in one device. Furthermore you may experience the new features of our SCHWIND AMARIS product family such as the innovative SmartPulse Technology for SCHWIND AMARIS, creating the wow effect in patients; or just simplify your planning with the new SCHWIND CAM software features. Come and join us for our Sessions at the Booth when SCHWIND users lecture on clinical experiences with SCHWIND technologies and learn more about the latest aspects of corneal surgery. You ll find more detailed information in our SCHWIND programme booklet for a perfect guidance throughout the congress, including the SCHWIND related scientific programme.
