SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH & Co. KG develops, produces and markets a comprehensive product portfolio for the treatment of ametropiae and corneal diseases consisting of high-tech laser systems, diagnostic systems, innovative software for individual treatment planning and a highly precise microkeratome. The owner-operated enterprise, based in Kleinostheim near Aschaffenburg, Germany, employs more than 100 people and distributes its products in more than 120 countries worldwide. Customers include ophthalmic surgeons, eye clinics, laser centers and university hospitals.

Named after its founder, the enterprise was registered in 1958 as Herbert Schwind GmbH & Co. KG in the Aschaffenburg trade register.

Founded in 1964, the subsidiary Titmus Eurocon specialized in the development of contact lenses. In 1972, with the introduction of the first soft contact lenses, Titmus Eurocon brought a world novelty to the market. Titmus Eurocon was sold in 1982 to the Swiss group Ciba Geigy (Novartis).

In the following years, Schwind eye-tech-solutions made a decisive turn from diagnostic technology supplier for ophthalmologic practices to technological leadership in laser systems for refractive and therapeutic corneal surgery.

In 2007 the company introduced a new excimer laser generation, the Schwind Amaris, which is the first and only laser system worldwide to combine all available modern refractive technologies in one system. Since then, the Schwind Amaris product family has been enhanced continuously. Today, Schwind Amaris laser systems compete successfully in a market otherwise dominated by multinational, market-listed corporations. The latest Amaris evolution features, with 1050 Hertz, the highest available pulse repetition rate on the market of excimer lasers today.
