Contoura LASIK is a procedure that permanently reshapes your cornea using highly specialized laser technology. This eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses by correcting the refractive errors of the eyes and improving vision. Contoura LASIK is used to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. It is a quick surgery which requires only 10 to 20 minutes for each eye and the results are seen soon after the surgery.
The Procedure:
- Eyes are numbed using anesthetic eye drops
- The eyes are kept open with an eyelid holder to avoid blinking
- The outer corneal layer is cut to make a flap and the cornea is reshaped based on your spectacle or contact lens prescription.
- The flap is then placed back and left to heal naturally without any stitches.
There will be an itching and burning sensation in your eyes immediately after the procedure and your vision will become clear in 24 hours. Some eye drops will be prescribed to help your eye heal and stay moist.
Why Choose Contoura LASIK?

Being computer guided, the surgery is very precise and the desired outcome can be achieved in a single session.
