What is Contoura® Vision?

Contoura® Vision is a type of laser eye surgery we call topography-guided LASIK.

Topography-guided LASIK plots and analyzes up to 22,000 elevation points in your cornea, which generates a highly customized and accurate cornea profile down to the last detail. This means that during the procedure, the laser will be guided to precisely reshape your cornea and correct your vision.

Contoura® Vision is a type of bladeless LASIK procedure that ensures your recovery period is optimized and post-op symptoms are minimized. When you choose a Contoura® Vision procedure, you're choosing a laser eye surgery that's calibrated at the highest level of accuracy and personalization.

Why Contoura® Vision?

The truth is, no two eyes are the same. Each one is as unique as your fingerprint. That's why the type of laser treatment matters.

The cornea may look flat and featureless on the surface. But in reality, it's made up of multiple elevation points and contours.

When the cornea is misshapen, it may lead to conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism (blurred distorted vision).

With so many options for Laser Vision Correction available, choose a procedure where you don't need to compromise between accuracy and safety. Choose a LASIK procedure where up to 98.4% of patients were satisfied and said they would choose it again.

What to Expect Throughout Your Contoura® Vision Procedure

Before Your Procedure

Your eye doctor will perform a preliminary eye exam to determine if Contoura® Vision is right for you. This part will be non-invasive and painless. Your eye doctor will then take the measurements needed to create an accurate map of your cornea's topography.

During Your Procedure

On the day of the procedure, you will receive anesthetic eye drops to numb your eyes. Guided by your personalized topography profile, the laser will correct your vision by precisely reshaping your cornea based on up to 22,000 elevation points. In minutes, the procedure will be over and healing begins - generally without pain or bandages.

After Your Procedure

You will be led into a post-procedure room, where you will rest with protective eye shields for about an hour. It is recommended to have someone else drive you home. Rest comfortably at home for at least a few hours with protective eye shields.

In most cases, you can enjoy improved eyesight almost immediately. You can typically return to normal activities the next day after your Contoura® Vision procedure.
