Contoura vision correction is a kind of LASIK. Contoura vision surgery is a kind of LASIK surgery that is FDA-approved and used to correct refractive errors using laser vision correction technologies. Before you go under laser vision correction, a test called corneal topography will be performed, which measures the shape of your cornea, the thickness of your cornea, and any other irregularities on your cornea. Suppose there are minor refractive errors, irregularities, or differences in the shape. In that case, your laser vision correction should also be customized or personalized to your unique eye, which is what Contoura does.
The main thing in Contoura is the accuracy of correcting the vision. The technique is pre-operative, this thing is measuring a thing called high order aberrations using a totalizer which measures almost 22000 points on the cornea because each eye will have different power, different amounts of astigmatism, and curvature, which will be measured using a totalizer, and is fed into the machine so that the accuracy of laser ablation is not only to correct the refractive error along with that it corrects the ablation part so that the patient will not only get 20/20, patients gets way beyond success vision in Contoura vision. The Contoura vision has a speedy recovery; within 24 hours, the patient can read almost 95-98% on the first post-day, and few read beyond 20/20.
Benefits of Contoura vision surgery.
· The first benefit is that it can correct astigmatism even above one diopter.
· The amount of night glare or night driving comfort zone after the surgery is very good.
· The recovery part is high-speed, and higher-order ablations are accurately corrected using Contoura vision correction.
· Contrast sensitivity is well maintained even post-refractive procedure.
· For patients with high cylindrical power or astigmatism, contoura vision correction surgery is much more suitable.
· It is a personalized treatment, so usually, when a refractive error is corrected, power is measured, and then enter the power parameters into the machine, and it corrects power according to what is entered; the corneal shape is different and unique for each person so when there is a higher cylindrical power due to curvature in the cornea, it is better to have a more customized or personalized treatment, and that is what Contoura does.
· After contoura vision surgery patient will receive some great results.
· After contoura vision patient will notice a reduction in post-operative symptoms such as night glare, halos, and difficulty in driving.
· The main thing in Contoura is the accuracy of correcting the vision.
· Contoura vision is a bladeless technique. No blade will be used in any step of your eye surgery.
· One of the things about contoura vision is that so many people are good candidates for contoura. This procedure works for a very large range of prescriptions.
· Contoura vision does an Aspheric Treatment, where the central bundle of light and the peripheral bundle of light come to a point focused on the retina even though the cornea gets flattened more in the corner than in the peripheral.
Age limit for Contoura vision surgery.
The criteria to undergo Contoura vision surgery is the patient or candidate should be an adult above 18 years of age, and there is no fixed maximum age limit for Contoura vision surgery.
