Contoura Vision Lasik Surgery

While traditional technologies offered basic information about the cornea, Contoura LASIK goes further by providing detailed insights into the intricate structure of the cornea, making it invaluable for highly personalized surgeries. The advanced topography system captures unique and previously unmeasurable characteristics of the patient’s eyes. This data enables ophthalmologists to create a comprehensive eye profile and design a highly effective, individualized, and customized surgical plan.

Studies clearly show that patients have experienced better vision improvement with topography-guided LASIK compared to corrections achieved with contact lenses or glasses. Contoura LASIK is undoubtedly a significant advancement in the field of personalized, high-tech vision correction procedures in the USA. It holds FDA approval and has shown proven benefits for many, though not all, patients with diagnosed eye conditions.

Who Can Have Topography-Guided LASIK – Contoura Vision Lasik Surgery?
Contoura LASIK is ideal for patients with nearsightedness, whether or not they also have astigmatism. Though astigmatism may sound like an eye disease, it is actually a refractive error, much like nearsightedness or farsightedness, affecting how the eye focuses light on the retina. In astigmatism, the cornea or lens is not perfectly curved, causing light to focus improperly on the retina

An irregularly shaped cornea causes images to appear blurred or distorted at various distances in individuals with astigmatism. This condition can also lead to headaches or eye strain, especially after prolonged reading or visual tasks. Squinting is another common symptom. Fortunately, all of these issues can be effectively addressed through Contoura LASIK, offering a precise solution for vision correction.

What Should The Patient Do?

• The patient has to first seek an appointment and consult the eye specialist or ophthalmologist for a detailed consultation.
• Astigmatism patterns are very unique and differ considerably from patient to patient.
• The specialist performs a comprehensive eye inspection, and confirms the unique pattern of the patient’s astigmatism.
• The patient’s fitness for topography-guided LASIK is also assessed and confirmed by the specialist after a detailed discussion of all the pros and cons.
• A personalized and highly specific Contoura LASIK treatment is designed for the patient in an accurate manner for effective vision correction.

Topography-Guided LASIK Technology

What Is The Contoura LASIK Diagnostic And Surgical Procedure?

Muhammad Ali, Male, 31 Years

I was preparing for the armed forces examination, but my eye power was over 5. So, I decided to undergo LASIK surgery. I visited a LASIK center that offered the latest technology within my budget. The procedure took just 10 to 12 minutes, and they provided me with some precautions to follow for a week. Now, I can see clearly without glasses and have successfully cleared both my written and medical examinations. Thanks to the LASIK center!
