Contoura Vision LASIK is one of the most popular specs removal surgeries currently available. And the reasons are not hard to understand. Besides being a blade-free and pain-free procedure, the results are highly safe – you get a lifetime of clear vision!
Before we dive into the technical intricacies that give Contoura Vision eye surgery its safety features, let’s see what Contoura Vision is.
What is Contoura Vision LASIK?
LASIK eye surgery has been around for many years now. It has allowed countless specs wearers to get rid of their glasses and contact lenses. The field of vision correction has seen numerous advancements, and Contoura Vision is one such innovation.
Personalised Vision Correction
Contoura Vision is a topography-guided LASIK that added the ‘personalisation’ element to specs removal for the first time. What does personalisation in specs removal mean?
Unique Eyes, Unique Treatment
Just as no two fingerprints are identical, no two eyes are the same. Each eye is unique. That’s why, you may have -4 D in one eye and -4.5 D in the other!
Mapping of 22 K Points
The surgery maps more than 22,000 points on your eye to create a tailored treatment plan for each eye. Accordingly, the advanced Excimer 500 laser reshapes your cornea to give you clear vision.
Refractive Errors + Corneal Aberrations
Not only does it correct your refractive errors, but it also corrects higher-order irregularities on the surface of your eye. The end result? You get perfect specs-free clarity, along with reduced risk of glare and halos (since corneal irregularities are also corrected).
Long Lasting Results
Once you get clear vision with Contoura eye surgery, it is likely to last a lifetime. That means as long as you do not face any age-related changes in the eye, such as presbyopia or cataracts, you can see the world clearly.
US-FDA Approved
Contoura Vision has the approval of the US-FDA. This means that the surgery has passed the stringent safety tests of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This is proof enough of its safety aspect.
Patient Data
Here is what an Alcon study conducted on Contoura Vision[1] patients revealed:
- 93 out of 100 patients got a perfect 6/6 vision
- 65 out of 100 patients got 6/4.8 vision (sharper than 6/6)
Permanent Clear Vision
This advanced technology works by creating a flap on your cornea, followed by changing the shape of the cornea, according to the personalised map it creates through topography. Since the change in shape is permanent, most patients get clear vision for life. It means Contoura Vision results are highly safe in the long term.
Other Benefits of Contoura Vision Eye Surgery
No Blade, No Pain
The Contoura Vision LASIK does not use a mechanical blade to create a flap. Instead, it uses a femtosecond laser. Additionally, anaesthetic eye drops are administered before the surgery begins, that ensure you have a painless experience.
Fast Procedure
There are not many tasks that can be completed in 10 minutes. But Contoura Vision takes only 10 minutes. And the actual laser time is not more than 20 seconds per eye. That is a big relief for those who dread the thought of surgery.
No Hospitalisation
The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure. It means you do not need to get admitted to the hospital. Once you get the Contoura treatment, you are monitored for an hour or so in the recovery room. After this, you can go home.
Quick Recovery
Another advantage of Contoura LASIK is that it comes with a short recovery time. You get visual clarity within 24-48 hours. It means you can return to work and a normal routine within a day or two.
Conclusion
Contoura Vision is a much sought-after vision correction technology, and rightly so. Given the immense benefits it offers, it is a perfect way to get permanent freedom from specs. So, whether you have myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, you can safely consider this advanced surgery.
