This is an aspheric treatment that is used to treat problems like refractive errors and issues with the corneal layers. It uses the latest mapping technology to fix eyesight problems. This treatment is the most recent advancement in the field of ophthalmology. Compared to other contemporary procedures in the industry that aim to treat eye disorders, Contoura Vision offers the most versatile and verifiable results. Other procedures that have gained prominence in the field have been LASIK and SMILE. However, these procedures have limitations that are not associated with Contoura Vision, especially one with Topolyser that is able to remove almost all sorts of corneal irregularities.
The principle of topography is the main idea behind Contoura Vision. This is a sensitive procedure that needs to be carried out by experienced ophthalmologists. Compared to LASIK and SMILE that work on corneal axis, Contoura Vision works on the natural seeing axis of the eye which is also called the visual axis. Experts use a special topolyzer which helps to map and remove irregularities on the surface of the cornea. This is done by marking 22,000 unique elevation points on the surface of the cornea, which is then smoothed out, providing better vision as well as clarity and sharpness.
Compared to other surgeries that cater to corneal problems, this procedure doesn’t require incisions. That implies that it is a bladeless procedure that uses two lasers; Femtosecond and Excimer laser. The former creates corneal flaps while the latter reshapes the surface of the cornea.
Before Contoura Vision, people adopted various procedures like keratectomy, radial and photorefractive ones that have been in use since the past 20 years. Needless to say, the already subtle art of fixing eye problems has grown into something more modern, reliable, safe and distinguished. This is why advanced treatment methods like Contoura Vision have been introduced.
Contoura Vision can work for people of all ages and significantly reduces the dependence on contact lenses and glasses. Moreover, it is also suitable for people who experience difficulty in driving at night or those who experience sensitivity to light. Since it involves lasers and no incisions, it’s a painless procedure that doesn’t have any downtime either.
Contoura Lasik is another variant of this process, which is available in most eye hospitals in the region. Every individual who has glasses power smaller than +5.00-10.0 can opt for this treatment. It can help you greatly improve your vision and treat significant problems related to it, provided you are getting it from the best eye center in Dubai.
How is it actually done? Here is a small display of a patient that has been hesitant to do Lasik for years.
