Contoura vision is a highly customized type of LASIK surgery that involves creating 22,000 points on the cornea for a highly-accurate correction of corneal irregularities and visual axis. It is done with the help of topography-guided laser technology. Unlike other laser eye surgeries, Contoura Vision utilizes an unparalleled three-step correction technique done with a Femtosecond laser, an Excimer laser, and a Topolyser.
This technique is considered more advanced due to its capabilities of the aspheric correction visual axis along with the pupillary axis. This provides a superior visual outcome with a minimal chance of having side effects that are common with LASIK or SMILE, such as light sensitivity, night vision problems, glares, starbursts, halos, etc.

Not all candidates with refractive errors qualify for Contoura Vision. A qualified ophthalmologist must conduct a thorough eye exam and gather the medical history of the patient to ensure that he//she is a good candidate. A candidate is considered ideal if-
The following are the contradictions for patients who wish to get Contoura Vision LASIK surgery. An individual who-
Contoura Vision works by measuring and treating corneal aberration and centering the corneal apex rather than the pupil. The laser reshapes the cornea and adjusts it according to the patient’s requirements.
The treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of the patient’s eye. The pre-operative screening assesses the candidate’s eligibility and checks whether the procedure is safe. A dilated fundoscopy is also done to look for retinal issues. If found, the retinal pathology is treated before performing laser eye surgery.
The procedure is carried out in the following steps-
After the procedure, the patient exits the operating room and gets further guidelines regarding post-surgery care.
Prior to Contoura Vision and other types of LASIK eye surgery, the patient needs to get all the base evaluation tests to confirm his/her eligibility. Other instructions given to the patients for preparation for the surgery involve-
For the day of surgery, the patient will be asked to wear loose and comfortable clothes that are easy to remove. The doctor or his/her medical team will also inform whether the surgery can be covered under health insurance. Also, it is advised to have someone accompany you on the day of surgery.
Immediately after Contoura Vision surgery, expect to feel a little itchy and burning sensation in the eye. This feeling will last only for a while. So, give proper rest to the eyes so that the itchiness goes away as soon as possible. The eyes will keep watering up, and the vision will improve shortly after the surgery.
Other instructions that the patient needs to follow after the surgery are also given to the patient before discharge. Prescribed medications and the follow-up schedule are also handed to the patient.
The Contoura LASIK procedure is an advanced form of LASIK. Hence, it is considered a superior technique in terms of visual acuity. However, the standard LASIK procedure helps to achieve a 20/20 vision.
The surgery itself doesn’t hurt as the eyes are numbed during the procedure using anesthetic drops. However, the patient may feel slight pressure or discomfort in the eye when the lid speculum is being placed.
In most cases, watching TV or any other type of digital screen is safe 2 days after the surgery. Initially, you may experience sensitivity to bright light, halos, etc., which will take some days to improve. You can return to your normal routine and other activities after getting approval from the doctor.
In India, the cost of Contour Vision surgery ranges from Rs. 95,000 to Rs. 1,05,000 approximately. This is only an estimated range that might vary for each patient due to various factors, such as the extent of correction, surgeon’s fee, diagnostic tests, post-surgery medications, etc.
Typically, vision correction or refractive surgeries are covered by health insurance only if the patient’s refractive power is equal to or higher than 7.5 Diopters. If the power is below this limit, then insurance companies won’t cover the cost of treatment.
Contoura Vision and other forms of laser eye surgeries are effective as they permanently reshape the cornea. Due to this, the results are long-lasting, and the patient enjoys improved vision for a long time. However, after age 40, the patient’s eye health may start to decline, and refractive errors might develop again.
Contoura Vision is one of the safest vision correction techniques. The only risks and complications that can arise are-
Being a high-precision technique, the visual recovery after Contoura Vision is quick. The patient can see clearly within a few hours after the surgery. The complete recovery of the flap will take around 2-4 weeks. The actual timeline will be different for each patient. But throughout the recovery period, the patient is advised to follow the aftercare tips below-
For the first two days, take complete bed rest and allow the eyes to heal.
Do not rub or poke the eyes, as it can dislodge the flap.
There might be slight itchiness or discomfort in the eye. To provide relaxation, the doctor will prescribe steroids and lubricating eye drops. Use them as directed.
Don’t forget to use antibiotic eye drops to prevent post-surgery infection.
Keep the screen-time minimal in the initial days.
Resume activities after consulting the doctor.
Take regular follow-ups with the doctor to ensure that the eyes are healing properly.
