Contoura Vision FemtoLASIK

Contoura Vision TopoGuided LASIK is a new technology designed to enhance the effects of LASIK. It corrects the vision based on the corneal topography (corneal curvature maps) as against the correction of vision in a standard LASIK surgery which is only based on glasses or contact lens prescription.

Contoura Vision TopoGuided LASIK involves the use of a separate diagnostic device called topolyser which provides measurement of 22,000 points on the cornea capturing the imperfections in both the curvature and the optics of the cornea. These topographic measurements are then combined with the patient’s eyeglass prescription and a customized treatment profile is created and programmed into the state of the art laser. The final laser ablation is performed by the WaveLight EX 500 Excimer laser system. Thus this technology works to optimize the corneal surface during LASIK procedure.
