Contoura Lasik
Contoura Vision, a groundbreaking procedure, is a state-of-the-art, bladeless, and fully customized laser vision correction procedure designed to treat a wide range of refractive errors, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. It provides superior visual outcomes compared to traditional LASIK and other vision correction methods.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY
The success of Contoura Vision lies in its precision. Unlike conventional LASIK procedures that use standard measurements, Contoura Vision employs a sophisticated diagnostic technique known as topography-guided mapping. This involves creating a 3D map of the cornea’s imperfections, capturing even the most minute irregularities. With this highly detailed map, the laser can target specific imperfections with unparalleled accuracy.
By customizing the laser treatment to the unique topography of each patient’s cornea, Contoura Vision not only corrects refractive errors but also addresses higher-order aberrations that can significantly impact vision quality. This level of precision results in sharper, clearer vision, often surpassing what glasses and contact lenses can offer.
BENEFITS OF THE PROCEDURE
Contoura Vision offers a plethora of benefits that have made it a preferred choice for many seeking vision correction:
1. Sharper Vision:
Contoura Vision often provides patients with a vision that surpasses what they could achieve with glasses or contact lenses.
2. Customization:
Each procedure is tailored to the individual, addressing their unique corneal irregularities for optimal results.
3. Quick and Painless:
The procedure is quick, usually lasting only a few minutes, and patients typically experience minimal discomfort.
1. Fast Recovery:
Most patients notice improved vision within a day or two, and many can return to their normal activities shortly after the surgery.
2. Reduced Dependence on Glasses:
Many patients find that they no longer need glasses or contact lenses for daily activities after Contoura Vision.
3. Long-Lasting Results:
Contoura Vision results are generally stable over the long term,offering lasting benefits.

Contoura Vision’s topography-guided mapping system provides a level of precision that traditional LASIK cannot match.
2. Visual Quality:
Contoura Vision often results in better visual quality, particularly in lowlight conditions and for those with higher-order aberrations.
3. Customization:
Traditional LASIK uses standardized treatments, while Contoura Vision tailors the procedure to each patient’s unique corneal topography.
4. Reduced Side Effects:
Contoura Vision has been associated with fewer side effects such as glare and halos compared to traditional LASIK.
CONTOURA VISION PROCEDURE – PROCESS
Contoura Eye surgery is increasingly becoming a popular vision correction treatment option for people all around the country. It is a quick, painless same-day surgery, helping you gain excellent vision in 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Pre-Operative Eye Exam
A comprehensive preliminary assessment is performed, including a clinical examination and corneal topography (Pentacam), to determine the patient’s eligibility and safety for the Contoura LASIK surgery. If any retinal defects (such as thinning/hole/tear) are discovered during the evaluation, they are treated with a barrage laser first, and then Contoura is performed after 1 to 4 weeks.
-
During the Procedure
On the day of surgery, the topolyser collects the patient’s topographic imagery, which is then sent to the treatment planning station to develop the personalized treatment profile. The laser will adjust your vision by accurately reshaping your cornea based on up to 22,000 elevation points, guided by your individualized topography profile.
-
Post Procedure
After 30 minutes, the patient is free to exit the hospital. Eye drops are used to prevent infection and aid in the healing process. The patient is evaluated the day following the procedure and one week and one month after that.

FAQ
What is Contoura LASIK?
Contoura LASIK is an advanced laser eye surgery that precisely reshapes the cornea to correct vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It’s personalized based on the cornea’s unique topography, reducing post-surgery visual problems, offering clear vision, and eliminating the need for glasses or contacts.
How does Contoura LASIK differ from traditional LASIK?
Contoura LASIK differs from traditional LASIK by offering personalized treatment based on corneal topography, reducing post-surgery visual issues for sharper vision. Traditional LASIK follows a standard procedure without this level of customization.
Is Contoura LASIK painful?
Contoura LASIK is typically not painful. The procedure is done with the use of numbing eye drops, which minimize discomfort. Some patients might experience minor discomfort or a sensation of pressure during the surgery, but it is generally well-tolerated and over quickly.
What is the recovery process like after Contoura LASIK?
The recovery process after Contoura LASIK is relatively quick and straightforward. Most patients can expect improved vision within a day or two following the procedure. However, it’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon, which may include using prescribed eye drops, avoiding strenuous activities for a few days, and attending follow-up appointments.
Do you have success stories or patient testimonials for Contoura LASIK?
Yes, we have success stories and patient testimonials for Contoura LASIK. Many of our patients have experienced significant improvements in their vision and quality of life after undergoing this procedure.
