Why do people upgrade to a newer model of their smartphone? For more advanced features and comfort. It is for the same reason that specs-wearers have started preferring Contoura Vision to LASIK!
Clear vision has always been essential for a good quality of life. This is especially true in todayтАЩs fast-paced world. LASIK eye surgery allows specs-wearers to get their vision corrected and see the world clearly without the barrier of glasses and contacts.
With innovations in the LASIK technology, we now have advanced LASIK options. A prominent one of them is Contoura Vision – a more precise and personalised topography-guided LASIK.
At Sohana Hospital, Mohali, people come from all over India and the world to get Contoura Vision specs removal treatment.
What is Traditional LASIK?
Traditional LASIK works by reshaping the cornea (the clear, transparent outer layer of your eye). This helps light focus properly on the eye (retina), thereby eliminating your refractive errors – myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (cylindrical power).
How does LASIK reshape the cornea? Firstly, a thin flap is created on the corneal surface with a mechanical blade (microkeratome). In the next step, an excimer laser is used to remove precise amounts of the underlying corneal layer. This is followed by putting the flap back in place. The procedure helps correct your refractive errors, giving you clear vision.
Traditional LASIK is largely safe and effective. However, it employs a тАЬone-size-fits-allтАЭ approach, meaning every eye is treated in the same way. Only your prescription is considered for the procedure.
While it treats your refractive errors, subtle corneal irregularities are not taken into account.
You know that no two fingerprints are the same. But did you know that each eye is as unique as a fingerprint?
So, while you get freedom from specs, some minor visual imperfections may remain. This causes some people to experience halos, glare, and diminished vision in low-light conditions.
What is Contoura Vision LASIK?
Contoura Vision LASIK is an advanced version of traditional LASIK. It is a topography-guided procedure that maps more than 22,000 unique elevation points on your cornea (eye surface). This information is used to create a tailored treatment plan for each eye.
The data-driven vision correction approach helps expert surgeons at Sohana Eye Hospital, Mohali, to repair not only refractive errors but also higher-order aberrations in the eye. This is what sets Contoura Vision apart from its predecessor.
The basic approach remains the same – reshaping of the cornea, but now, your unique eye measurements are taken into account.
Does Contoura Vision have any other advanced features?
Yes. In place of a mechanical blade, Contoura LASIK uses a femtosecond laser for flap creation. That makes it a тАЬno bladeтАЭ specs removal procedure.
No longer are people scared of surgery, since this aspect, along with the administration of numbing eye drops before the procedure, ensures that you do not experience any pain during the procedure.
What else? It comes with a 24-48 hour recovery. Most patients get clear vision almost immediately after the treatment. You can return to college/work in just a day or two!
What are the Main Advantages of Contoura Vision LASIK?
- Better Visual Quality: Many patients get not just clear vision but HD clarity
- Personalised Approach: Each eye is treated differently, as per its unique measurements
- Enhanced Night Vision: No or minimal halos and glare after the procedure
- Quicker Recovery: See clearly within 24 hours of the treatment
- Higher Accuracy & Safety: Integrated eye tracking systems ensure perfect laser application
