Contoura Vision: Who is a Candidate for this Procedure?
Contoura Vision Warangal

Contoura Vision is a term slowly becoming popular with people looking for better vision correction options. It is the advanced form of laser eye surgery commonly referred to as LASIK. A lot of technological advancements have given better patient outcomes ever since 1999 when LASIK was approved by the US FDA.

LASIK has been used to correct the vision issues of millions of people around the world. While giving patients a new lease on life, it has its small side effects in the form of halos, glares or inability to drive or read at night. LASIK can’t treat these due to the minute imperfections on the cornea. 

Contoura Vision solves these issues, too, by correcting these minute imperfections in the cornea. This isn’t possible with just LASIK. 

While performing any vision correction procedure, there are minimum requirements. LASIK, too, had its requirements.  Similarly, you need to fulfil certain requirements before your eye doctor can recommend you for the Contoura Vision procedure. 

Requirements for undergoing Contoura Vision surgery:

  1. You must be at least 18 years of age or older.
  2. You must be using prescription eyewear, including spectacles or contact lenses.
  3. Your eyes can’t have more than eight diopters of myopia.
  4. Your eyes must not have more than three diopters of astigmatism. 
  5. You can’t have more than nine diopters of myopia and astigmatism combined.

Patients who have undergone LASIK in the past, too, can be eligible for undergoing Contoura Vision surgery. These are patients who experience halos, glares, blurred vision and image ghosting after years of performing LASIK. In observations, patients undergoing surgery have very good results.

Patients who have Keratoconus or Post LASIK Ectasia are also eligible to undergo the Contoura Vision procedure.

Contoura Vision surgery procedure

Contoura Vision surgery is a simple process that lasts for barely 20 minutes. After your eye doctor determines whether you’re a candidate for Contoura Vision, you have to undergo a topography mapping of your cornea. Anaesthetic drops numb your eyes to avoid any discomfort. 

Based on this data, the Contoura machine directs a beam of focused laser light onto your eye’s cornea. This laser beam corrects the imperfections of your cornea and restores your vision. Following the procedure, your eye doctor will follow up by giving you temporary eyeglasses and eye drops. You’ll have clear vision restored within a few hours, in the case of Contoura.

In observations, the procedure is highly effective for those who opted for the same. Moreover, it is a bladeless and painless procedure where you won’t lose out on your cornea tissue. 

In India, Sharat Maxivision Hospital has been at the forefront of introducing this procedure to the residents of Warangal and neighbouring areas.

Lasik Surgery – how can it be customised?

LASIK eye surgery is one of the most successful surgeries and helped millions of people. As the name suggests, LASIK eye surgery uses a laser to correct vision. A few patterns in eye issues deform the corneal layer of your eye. This change in the corneal layer changes how our brain perceives the image from the eyes. Thus, the image looks blurry. Glasses are one of the most common solutions to see clearly. But, we all know that glasses are a burden to carry around and maintain. 

This is where LASIK surgery comes in handy. LASIK surgery enables us to correct your eyesight with a simple procedure. Also, this surgery is one of the most efficient vision correction methods because of its revolutionary recovery time. As this surgery uses laser technology, you do not get an incision in the eye, and drastically reduces the recovery time compared to other methods. 

Custom LASIK Eye Surgery 

When we say LASIK surgery, it’s an umbrella of surgeries that use laser technology. So, multiple surgeries come under LASIK. But, worry not. Our specialists will brief you on all the methods before you decide. Even before that, we will test your eyes for the compatibility of this surgery, and only based on the results will we suggest the type of surgery. In a few cases, we will also suggest not going through with LASIK surgery. For instance, when the corneal layer is too thin. 

Although conventional LASIK surgery is your safest bet, you can choose the custom LASIK eye surgery too. The reasons vary from the medical results from the tests and personal needs. Regarding medical reasons, if you have a larger pupil size or your eyes have lower or higher aberrations. The personal needs include getting a service modified to your eyes perfectly. Doing this is a sure way to get a vision that’s even better than 20/20. Custom LASIK eye surgery is a sure way to get the best vision without eyeglasses.

Even though custom LASIK seems like the better option, we only suggest this to people with extreme or unusual eye conditions. We, at Sharat Maxivision, have treated many and reshaped their eyesight.
