Contoura Vision Surgery

Contoura Vision Surgery goes beyond basic vision correction by enhancing the overall quality of how you see the world.

• Sharper-than 6/6 vision in many patients*
• Improved contrast sensitivity for clearer, crisper images
• Reduced glare, halos, and starbursts, especially at night
• Personalised correction based on detailed corneal mapping
• Better visual outcomes compared to conventional LASIK
• Minimally invasive, bladeless, painless, and stitchless
• Faster recovery with noticeable improvement within 24–48 hours
• Long-lasting results with high patient satisfaction

This makes Contoura LASIK surgery an ideal choice for those seeking high-definition vision. *Clinical outcomes may vary in individuals.

Contoura Vision Surgery is suitable for individuals looking for advanced, precise, and personalised vision correction. You may be eligible if:

• You are 18 years or older with stable vision
• You have myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia, or astigmatism
• Your eye power has not changed significantly in the last 1 year
• Your cornea is healthy and sufficiently thick, ~500 microns
• You do not have active eye infections or severe dry eye conditions
• You are not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of surgery

A comprehensive eye examination is essential to determine your eligibility for Contoura vision and to ensure safe, effective outcomes tailored to your eyes.

This step prepares the cornea for laser correction and is performed with extreme precision using a femtosecond laser. Alternatively, a fine blade called microkeratome can be used to create the flap.

• 1. Topical Anaesthesia (Numbing Drops):

  Ensures a completely painless experience; no injections are required.

• 2. Femtosecond Laser Flap Creation:

  A thin corneal flap (typically 100–120 microns) is created with micron-level accuracy.

• 3. Customised Flap Parameters:

  Flap diameter, thickness, and hinge position are tailored based on corneal anatomy, not one-size-fits-all.

• 4. Uniform Planar Flap (Not Meniscus):

  Modern lasers create a more uniform flap, improving healing and visual outcomes.

• 5. Flap Is Lifted:

  The flap is gently lifted to expose the stroma layer for the laser ablation.

This is the core of Contoura LASIK surgery, where actual vision correction happens using highly customised laser pulses.

• 1. Topography-Guided Treatment:

  The laser follows your unique corneal map, correcting not just power but surface irregularities.

• 2. Excimer Laser Ablation:

  Removes microscopic corneal tissue with sub-micron precision without generating heat damage.

• 3. Eye Tracking Technology:

  Advanced trackers adjust for even the smallest eye movements in real time.

• 4. Higher-Order Aberration Correction:

  Improves issues like glare, halos, and ghosting, something standard LASIK may not fully address.

• 5. Ultra-Fast Treatment Time:

  Typically 30–60 seconds per eye, depending on the prescription.

This final step initiates natural healing, with no stitches or invasive closure techniques.

• 1. Flap Repositioning:

  The corneal flap is gently placed back and aligns naturally due to corneal adhesion properties.

• 2. Immediate Surface Stabilisation:

  Within minutes, the flap begins to adhere securely without sutures.

• 3. Protective Measures:

  Eye shields or precautions may be advised to avoid accidental rubbing.

• 4. Post-Operative Medication Protocol:

  Includes antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating eye drops to support healing.

• 5. Neuroadaptation Phase:

  The brain gradually adapts to improved visual signals—this is why vision continues to refine over weeks.

• 6. Follow-Up Schedule:

  Regular check-ups ensure flap position, healing, and visual quality are progressing as expected.

Contoura LASIK surgery can correct hyperopia, where near objects appear blurry and focusing effort increases.

Correction Range: Typically up to +4.00 D 
How it works: The laser steepens the cornea to improve near focus

Technology Advantage:

• Customised reshaping based on individual corneal profile
• Better balance between near and distance vision

Patient Benefit:

• Easier reading & screen use
• Reduced eye strain & fatigue

Astigmatism involves an irregular corneal shape, causing distorted or blurred vision at all distances, and this is where Contoura laser eye surgery truly stands out.

Correction Range: Typically up to ±5.00 D cylindrical power 
How it works: Smoothens and regularises the uneven corneal surface

Technology Advantage:

• Corrects corneal irregularities, not just cylindrical number
• Reduces higher-order aberrations (glare, halos, ghosting)

Patient Benefit:

• Sharper, more stable vision
• Better night vision and contrast sensitivity
