Difference between Contoura Vision and SMILE / LASIK Surgery

• The scope of Contoura is not limited to vision correction rather it can treat the abnormality in the corneal curvature.
• The technology used in Contoura surgery is more advanced as compared to conventional LASIK surgery. While the conventional LASIK surgery maps only 200 points on the cornea, the Contoura vision surgery maps 22000 points on cornea.

• Contoura vision surgery has fewer complications as compared to conventional LASIK surgery. The damage to the tissue is relatively less and has faster healing time.

• LASIK has been the gold standard to eliminate the necessity for spectacles or contact lenses, the Contoura Vision procedure gives better acuity and refractive outcome within the overwhelming majority of cases. Contoura Vision takes LASIK corrective surgery to a replacement height. Contoura Vision may be a computer-guided topographic mapping technique that maps microscopic contours of the cornea. The cornea is that the clear front of the attention .
• This procedure treats irregularities of the twist of the cornea also as optics. Irregularities within the twist of the cornea are often the underlying explanation for vision problems. The treatment is centered on the visual axis of the attention . In contrast, other LASIK procedures are centered on the pupil
