Contoura Vision is the ideal LASIK eye surgery for astigmatism. Why is that?
Astigmatism (cylindrical power) is a refractive error that develops due to an irregularly shaped cornea, causing distorted or unclear vision. While prescription glasses and contact lenses can provide temporary clear vision (when in use), Contoura Vision offers a permanent solution to the vision problems caused by cylindrical eye power.
In this blog, we are going to discuss what astigmatism is and why Contoura Vision stands out (even outweighing SMILE Pro & LASIK) as an ideal treatment for the same.
What is Astigmatism?
Here’s an overview of astigmatism:
It is a refractive error caused by uneven curvature of the front surface of the eye (also known as the cornea). A healthy cornea is free from uneven aberrations and is uniform in shape. This allows light to enter the eye and focus directly on the retina, facilitating clear vision.
However, the irregularity of an eye with astigmatism causes the light entering the eye to bend unevenly and hit multiple focal points instead of just one precise point on the retina. This leads to the light not converging on the retina, therefore, causing distorted vision.
Astigmatism is a very common vision problem, and many individuals with a mild form of the refractive error report no significant vision disturbances affecting their routine. However, in cases where the condition starts hampering daily tasks and causing noticeable discomfort or visual impairment, treatment becomes necessary.
💡 DID YOU KNOW? Astigmatism often exists alongside other refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness), which may also require correction.
What is Contoura Vision Surgery?
Contoura Vision is an advanced topography-guided LASIK specs removal technology. It maps over 22,000 points on the eye. Unlike conventional LASIK or other specs removal technologies that focus solely on correcting your refractive errors, this advanced technology goes beyond standard vision correction and corrects your corneal irregularities too.
The advanced eye mapping technology allows for precise optical measurements and a customised vision correction treatment plan. It’s this customised approach that makes the surgery a more than worthy option for permanent freedom from vision problems.
What Makes Contoura Vision Ideal for Astigmatism Correction?
Customised Precision
Contoura Vision has an edge over other LASIK/laser specs removal technologies owing to its customised treatment approach. It maps 22k+ elevation points on the cornea, making sure each eye is treated with extreme precision, according to its unique visual requirements.
Superior Visual Outcomes
While most LASIK surgeries restore standard clear vision, Contoura Vision has helped some of our patients gain vision better than 6/6! Since all corneal irregularities are corrected, you won’t notice any halos, glare, streaks, or starbursts in your vision. Additionally, the surgery offers long-term vision stability, meaning your vision will remain stable for years to come.
Minimal Recovery Time
The surgery often provides visual clarity almost immediately after the surgery. You will notice significantly clearer vision the very next day! This makes returning to routine activities like driving, reading, and going to work/college easier.
Your vision continues to stabilise & the cornea continues to heal over a period of a few days to a week.
Freedom from Dependence on Glasses
A long-term specs-wearer knows the everyday struggles that accompany refractive errors – the constant ‘adjusting’ of your specs, fogged-up frames, and countless lost contact lenses. With Contoura Vision LASIK eye surgery, you can bid farewell to all such struggles, because you definitely won’t need your glasses anymore!
