Contoura Vision is one of the most advanced LASIK technologies available — a topography-guided procedure that treats not just your prescription, but the unique surface characteristics of your individual cornea.
What Is Contoura Vision?
Standard LASIK corrects your spectacle prescription (sphere and cylinder values). Contoura Vision goes further by mapping 22,000 data points across your corneal surface and correcting subtle imperfections (higher-order aberrations) that glasses and contacts cannot address. This results in sharper, crisper vision — often better than 6/6.
How Contoura Vision Works
- Corneal topography mapping: The Topolyzer Vario device maps 22,000 elevation points across your cornea
- Customised treatment plan: Creates a patient-specific ablation profile
- Guided laser treatment: The laser corrects both the refractive error AND the corneal irregularities simultaneously
Contoura Vision Results
In US-FDA clinical trials, 30% of Contoura Vision patients achieved better than 6/6 (20/20) vision — something not possible with spectacles alone. Night vision quality, contrast sensitivity, and freedom from halos/glare are all significantly better compared to standard LASIK.
