LASIK / Contoura Vision Surgery Ambala | Bladefree LASIK

What is Contoura Vision LASIK?

Contoura Vision is the most advanced form of LASIK, approved by the US FDA. While conventional LASIK corrects spectacle power, Contoura Vision maps 22,000 unique elevation points on your cornea and corrects both power and corneal irregularities — giving many patients vision sharper than what their best glasses ever provided.

At Bansal Eye Hospital, we use a completely blade-free, all-laser approach combining the precision of the Femtosecond laser (for flap creation) with Contoura-guided Excimer laser (for reshaping). The result is remarkable clarity with minimum side effects like glare and halos.

🔬 Contoura vs. Standard LASIK

Standard LASIK corrects the 'average' of your prescription. Contoura Vision is personalised to the unique topography of YOUR cornea — no two treatments are the same. Clinical studies show that over 65% of patients achieve better than 6/6 vision with Contoura.

Benefits of Contoura Vision LASIK

FDA-approved technology with superior clinical outcomes
Personalised treatment based on 22,000 corneal data points
Many patients see better than with their best spectacles
Reduced glare, halos and starbursts at night
Bladefree, painless, 15-minute procedure
Safe for myopia up to –8D with or without astigmatism
Very low retreatment rates
Immediate visual recovery — most patients drive the next day

The LASIK Procedure

Pre-op Mapping: Corneal topography with Contoura scanner maps 22,000 elevation points. Aberrometry, pachymetry and full slit-lamp examination completed.
Anaesthesia: Topical anaesthetic drops. No injections. Completely comfortable.
Flap Creation: Femtosecond laser creates a precise, uniform corneal flap in under 20 seconds.
Topography-Guided Ablation: Excimer laser guided by Contoura data reshapes the corneal stroma to eliminate refractive errors and corneal irregularities.
Flap Repositioning: The flap is gently replaced. It adheres naturally without stitches.
Immediate Vision: Most patients notice dramatically improved vision within hours.

Who is Eligible for LASIK?

Age 18+ with stable prescription for at least 1 year
Myopia up to –8D, hyperopia up to +4D, astigmatism up to 4D
Adequate corneal thickness (minimum 500 microns)
No active dry eye, corneal ectasia or autoimmune disease
Good general health and realistic expectations

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Contoura Vision better than standard LASIK? ▾

Yes, for most patients. Contoura Vision treats both power and corneal irregularities, leading to significantly better visual quality — especially night vision. Clinical data shows most patients achieve 6/6 or better, often surpassing their previous best spectacle-corrected vision.

How long do LASIK results last? ▾

LASIK results are permanent for the majority of patients. The corneal reshaping is stable. However, age-related changes (presbyopia after age 40) are separate from LASIK outcomes and may require reading glasses later in life.

Can I have LASIK in both eyes on the same day? ▾

Yes, we routinely perform LASIK on both eyes simultaneously. This is the standard of care and safe. It reduces total recovery time and is more convenient for patients.

What if I'm not suitable for LASIK? ▾

If you don't meet LASIK criteria, we have excellent alternatives. SILK surgery works for thinner corneas; ICL is ideal for very high powers; PRK is another option. Dr. V. K. Bansal will recommend the best procedure during your evaluation.
