What is Contoura Vision?

Contoura vision is a topography-guided laser technology used to correct refractive errors thereby decreasing or eliminating decreasing or eliminating dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The technology reduces side effects linked to laser procedures like LASIK and SMILE. It was FDA-approved in the US in 2016. The method provides measurements of 22,000 points as compared to 200 points provided by the wave front-guided LASIK method. The imperfections in the cornea are recorded and then corrected using a laser.

Reasons choosing Contoura Vision surgery is a transformative decision for those seeking enhanced visual acuity.

Personalized Precision : Contoura vision eye surgery is a breakthrough in conventional laser vision correction techniques, employing advanced mapping technology. Wave front-guided systems not only capture refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism but also subtle irregularities in the cornea’s shape. This detailed mapping ensures a customized treatment plan tailored to the unique nuances of each individual’s eyes, leading to enhanced precision and optimal visual outcomes.

Superior Visual Quality: By correcting both higher and lower-order aberrations, this technology significantly reduces the chances of glare, halos, and other visual disturbances, ensuring a superior quality of vision, especially in low-light conditions.

Enhanced Night Vision: Many individuals experience difficulties seeing clearly in low-light environments after undergoing traditional laser vision correction. Contoura vision’s meticulous mapping and correction of aberrations contribute to a remarkable reduction in night vision issues, enabling patients to enjoy improved clarity and comfort in nighttime activities.

Quick Recovery and Minimal Discomfort: Contoura Lasik surgery is designed with patient comfort and rapid recovery in mind. The procedure is swift, typically lasting only a few minutes per eye. The advanced mapping technology ensures that corneal tissue is removed, leading to faster healing and reduced discomfort. Patients often report a quick recovery and an overall pleasant experience during the postoperative period, making contoura vision an attractive choice for those with busy lifestyles.

Predictable and Stable Results: Contoura’s Lasik eye surgery excels in providing predictability by leveraging advanced diagnostics and precise treatment planning. The technology’s ability to address subtle corneal irregularities contributes to stable and long-lasting outcomes, offering patients confidence in their decision to undergo the procedure.

Customization for Challenging Cases: Contoura Vision’s high level of customization makes it a preferred choice for cases that may be deemed challenging by other techniques. Whether dealing with irregular astigmatism, complex prescriptions, or their atypical conditions, contoura vision’s adaptability positions it as a versatile solution for a wide range of eye conditions.

Advanced Tracking and Treatment Verification: Contoura Surgery doesn’t just stop at the procedure; it incorporates advanced tracking and verification systems to ensure the accuracy of the treatment. Real-time monitoring during the surgery allows for adjustments as needed, ensuring that the intended corrections are precisely applied. This commitment to accuracy and verification instills confidence in both patients and surgeons, reinforcing Contoura Vision’s reputation as a state-of-the-art vision correction technology.

Proven Clinical Efficacy: The effectiveness of Contoura eye surgery is supported by a growing body of clinical studies and patient testimonials. The technology has been rigorously tested and refined, with results consistently demonstrating its ability to provide superior visual outcomes. Choosing Contoura Vision means aligning with a proven and trusted solution that has undergone extensive scrutiny and validation in the field of refractive surgery.

The Procedure of Contoura Vision Surgery

There’s a thorough pre-operative evaluation is done by the eye care specialist before the procedure starts. This stage involves mapping the surface of the cornea using topography-guided imaging technologies. A customized treatment plan is based on the three-dimensional representation of corneal abnormalities produced by this mapping.

Before the treatment, anesthetic eye drops are given to the patient to ensure their comfort.
A frequent procedure in Contoura Vision surgery is the construction of a corneal flap, which gives the eye surgeon access to the underlying tissue. This is usually accomplished with a femtosecond laser, which produces an extremely precise, thin, hinged flap in the cornea.

The subsequent use of an excimer laser facilitates the exact reshaping of the cornea based on the preoperative mapping. Small pieces of tissue are carefully removed by this laser to fix certain flaws found during the mapping process.

One notable aspect of Contoura Vision surgery is how very customizable it is. With the use of the comprehensive corneal map, the laser can target higher-order aberrations in addition to basic refractive defects, providing a more individualized course of treatment.

The corneal flap is carefully adjusted once laser reshaping is finished. During the early phases of healing, the cornea’s inherent suction helps keep the flap in place.

Giving patients clear instructions and protective eye shields is part of post-operative care. Most people recover quickly; many have better vision in just one or two days. For those seeking advanced laser eye correction, Contoura Vision surgery is a popular choice because of its careful mapping and customization procedure, which seeks to give improved visual outcomes.
