People with refractive errors have been fixing their vision with laser surgery for more than two decades now. The most common procedure is Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). As technology has updated, so have the procedures. Currently, Contoura LASIK is the most advanced version of the LASIK eye treatment. It has shown extraordinary results in patients. How is it different from the usual LASIK treatment? Let’s discuss.
As mentioned, LASIK is the earliest form of laser surgery and Contoura LASIK surgery is the most advanced form. Now, let’s take a closer look at the details.
● LASIK maps 2000 points on the cornea to rectify refractive errors, while Contoura maps 20,000 points, providing patients with the sharpest vision.
● LASIK focuses on the pupillary axis to rectify vision, while Contoura treats the visual axis, which makes the treatment extremely effective.
● LASIK provides patients with 6/6 vision most of the time. On the other hand, Contoura Vision surgery provides patients with better than 6/6 or 20/20 vision.
● Following LASIK treatment, trouble with driving at night, glare, halos, and so on are common problems while Contoura Vision has no such side effects.
● There is a certain amount of corneal tissue loss with every LASIK treatment. With Contoura Vision surgery, tissue loss is comparatively lesser than conventional LASIK.
● Post-LASIK, patients are not required to wear spectacles. Contoura Vision goes a bit further, making vision sharper and crisper.
● During LASIK surgery, blades are involved. During Contoura Vision surgery, blades aren’t needed to perform the procedure.
The mentioned points make it clear that Contoura Vision has a clear advantage over LASIK when it comes to laser eye surgery. While the number of LASIK surgeries is high, Contoura Vision has shown great progress, promising a better future for eye care.
Customised vision rectification is the most attractive feature of Contoura Vision surgery. It ensures the most suitable quality of vision. By applying customised machine software, the patient’s cornea is mapped up to 20,000 points. Then, a focused laser beam is directed into the cornea to rectify vision.
