What is LASIK Treatment?

Lasik treatment is a very popular treatment for correcting refractive errors in the eye. It is widely popular but helps correct vision problems such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. Changes in the cornea help clear the surface of the eye making way for light to stay focused on the retina. 

This method is used especially to correct refractive errors, allow the patient to have an experience clear vision and help them to experience productive life. Usually, this procedure is quick and hardly takes 15 minutes to get complete. This helps using a keratome blade which facilitates the flap removal and in changing corneal effects which facilitates patients to achieve clearer vision without needing glasses or contact lenses.

Suitable candidates for LASIK are adults over the age of 18 with stable vision experience and good overall eye health. This means they have no significant underlying medical conditions that may affect healing. 

Those with extremely thin corneas, severe dry eyes, or certain eye diseases may not be ideal candidates for the procedure. A thorough eye exam and consultation with a qualified surgeon are essential to determine if LASIK is the right option or some other treatment. 

 

What is Contoura Vision?

Contoura Vision is an advanced form of LASIK surgery, known as topography-guided LASIK. This provides a more personalized and precise treatment for correcting vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Unlike Lasik, this eye laser treatment is based on general measurements of the eye using highly topographic mapping. This facilitates correcting all kinds of refractive errors with much ease and convenience. Hence, the newly advanced technology of Contoura makes it a highly customized and precise option for vision correction.

To know whether it's suitable for you, one can have a detailed consultation with an eye specialist. This includes corneal mapping and other assessments, which are necessary to determine if Contoura Vision is the best option for the patient or not. 

 

Key Differences in Both Technologies

  1. In  LASIK surgery, we use a general laser reshaping technique which is the old traditional technique which includes a laser. While on the other hand, Contoura Vision utilizes topography-guided mapping for customized correction. This offers more precision by correcting not only refractive errors but also corneal irregularities, improving visual clarity
  2.  LASIK follows a standard procedure in its healing while Contoura Vision provides a personalized treatment which is often based on the unique corneal structure of each patient and thus provides personalized healing to the patient. 
  3. LASIK typically corrects the vision of all kinds of patients while Contoura Vision may provide better visual quality and enhanced esthetics with painless treatment. 
  4. When it comes to recovery, lasik takes much more time than new technology. Recovery time and comfort may vary in Contoura Vision as it offers smoother recovery than traditional Lasik treatments.
