What is Contoura LASIK?
Contoura LASIK, also known as Topography-Guided LASIK, is a next-generation laser vision correction procedure that not only corrects your spectacle power but also treats tiny irregularities on the corneal surface.
The treatment creates a highly detailed map of your cornea using thousands of measurement points. This customized mapping allows the laser to reshape the cornea with exceptional precision, improving both vision quality and visual clarity. Modern Contoura systems map up to 22,000 points on the corneal surface to personalize treatment.
How is Contoura LASIK Different from Traditional LASIK?
Traditional LASIK corrects vision based mainly on your glasses prescription.
Contoura LASIK goes a step further by:
- Creating a personalized corneal map
- Correcting microscopic corneal irregularities
- Improving overall visual quality
- Reducing glare and halos in many suitable patients
- Providing highly customized treatment
This advanced technology helps many patients achieve excellent visual outcomes while reducing certain optical imperfections compared with standard LASIK.
