Contoura Vision LASIK

Contoura Vision is an Advanced Bladeless vision correction technique designed to treat myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Unlike traditional LASIK, Contoura Vision uses a topolyser diagnostic machine which captures 22,000 elevation points on the cornea, ensuring treatment is customised to your visual axis.

"Contoura Vision is one of the most advanced technologies for laser vision correction, delivering superhuman visual results with customised precision."

Technology

How does Contoura Vision work?

The procedure is guided by advanced mapping technology for precise corneal reshaping.

Topolyser Map

The topolyser machine maps 22,000 unique eye deviation points on the cornea, recognising even the minute details of the surface irregularities.

Treatment Plan

This map is combined with the prescription and is used to create a customised laser treatment plan for the patient.

Laser Surgery

The further procedure is performed inside the OT, where a femtosecond laser (for flap) and an excimer laser (for precise corneal reshaping) are used.

Superior Visual Quality

Contoura Vision provides vision sharper than glasses or contact lenses, reducing the risk of halos and glares.

Highly Personalised

Addresses standard refractive errors and higher order aberrations, resulting in more natural vision.

Natural Vision

Reduced glare, halos, & better night vision compared to standard procedures.

Quick Recovery

Surgery typically takes 10-15 minutes. Most patients resume daily activities within a few days.

Less Side Effects

Custom mapping minimises typical LASIK complications like dry eyes and light sensitivity.

Process

Procedure & Longevity

Eligibility is determined by thorough pre-surgery testing, including corneal thickness and shape analysis.
The surgery is usually painless and quick, and most patients experience improved vision immediately after.
Results are long-lasting, though future changes may occur due to age-related problems or other eye conditions.

Frequently asked questions

1. What outcomes can Contoura Vision provide?

According to FDA research, 35% of patients had vision better than 20/15, and 65% of patients had eyesight at least 20/15. Many patients report better night vision, less glare, and halos.

2. How much time does the process take?

For both eyes, the Contoura Vision treatment usually takes ten to twenty minutes. Almost immediately, the majority of patients experience improved vision, and they usually resume their regular activities the following day.

3. Does the process hurt?

No, the process is painless because anaesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eyes beforehand. The majority of patients have very little discomfort while they heal.

4. Does the FDA approve Contoura Vision?

Indeed, Contoura Vision met the strictest safety requirements for vision correction operations and received FDA approval in the US in 2016.

5. Will Contoura Vision be covered by insurance?

Since LASIK is regarded as a cosmetic and elective operation, private insurance may not cover it. It's preferable to ask your insurance company directly.
