Beyond LASIK: The Most Advanced, Personalized Vision Correction
What is Contoura Vision?
Contoura Vision is an advanced form of LASIK known as topography-guided laser vision correction. Unlike conventional LASIK, which corrects only your spectacle number (spherical and cylindrical power), Contoura also treats subtle irregularities on the corneal surface, known as higher-order aberrations.
Using highly detailed corneal mapping, this technology creates a customised treatment plan unique to each eye. The result is sharper, clearer, and more natural quality of vision often with reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
Are 18 years or older
Have had stable eye power for at least one year
Have healthy corneas with adequate thickness
Do not have keratoconus or progressive corneal disorders
Do not have active eye infections or severe uncontrolled dry eye
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Do not have uncontrolled systemic conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune diseas
Final eligibility is determined only after a comprehensive eye examination and detailed corneal evaluatio

How Contoura Vision Works
The procedure begins with an advanced corneal topography scan that captures thousands of elevation points from the corneal surface. These measurements detect refractive errors and microscopic irregularities that may affect visual quality.
Specialised planning software then creates a customised laser treatment profile. During the procedure:
A thin corneal flap is created (using either a microkeratome or femtosecond laser).
An excimer laser reshapes the cornea according to the personalised treatment plan.
The flap is repositioned without stitches.
The entire procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes for both eyes and is performed under topical (drop) anaesthesia.
