Corrective Vision Laser Treatments (Refractive Procedures)
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis): One of the most common types of laser eye surgery that reshapes the underlying corneal tissue with a laser underneath a thin flap, and then re-attaches the flap, which heals very quickly. People with very thin corneas, therefor, may need an alternative procedure like PRK.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): In PRK, the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is dissolved and a laser reshapes the corneal tissue to correct vision. PRK has a longer healing period compared to LASIK, but is more suited to people with thin corneas.
- LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis): The outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is temporarily removed while the laser reshapes the cornea, and then replaced.
- SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A minimally invasive procedure that creates a small incision — less than 4 millimeters long — in the cornea to remove a lenticule, thereby reshaping the cornea.
- EpiLASIK: In EpiLASIK, a special device called an epikeratome is used to separate and preserve the epithelial layer before reshaping the cornea with a laser.
Cataracts Surgery
The following types of cataracts surgeries are effective in restoring vision impaired by cataracts, and the choice between the two depends on the specific characteristics of the cataract and the patient’s individual needs.
- Phacoemulsification: This is the most common type of cataract surgery and involves using ultrasound energy to break up the cataract (cloudy lens) prior to extracting and replacing it with an artificial lens.
- Extracapsular Cataract Surgery: This type of cataract surgery is less commonly performed than phacoemulsification. It involves removing the cloudy core of the lens in one piece, leaving the rest of the lens capsule intact. An artificial lens is then placed in the lens capsule to replace the natural lens.

Contoura® Vision LASIK
What is Contoura® Vision LASIK?
Contoura® Vision LASIK is an advanced form of LASIK eye surgery that utilizes topography-guided technology to tailor the laser treatment to the unique characteristics of an individual’s cornea. This technology aims to provide a more personalized and precise correction of refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Contoura® Vision creates a highly precise and accurate map of a patient’s eyes measuring up to 22,000 unique elevation points on each eye.
Key features of Contoura® Vision LASIK include:
- Topography-Guided Treatment:
Contoura® Vision LASIK utilizes detailed corneal mapping or corneal topography to create a highly customized treatment plan. This map captures thousands of data points on the cornea, allowing for a more precise analysis of its shape and irregularities. - Personalized Correction:
The topography-guided technology enables the laser to precisely reshape the cornea based on the unique imperfections detected in the corneal map. This personalized approach aims to address higher-order aberrations, improving not only traditional refractive errors but also the overall quality of vision. - Reduced Glare and Halos:
Contoura® Vision LASIK is designed to reduce the occurrence of visual disturbances such as glare and halos, which can be associated with certain refractive errors. The customized treatment may result in improved night vision and reduced sensitivity to light. - Potential for Better Visual Outcomes:
The goal of Contoura® Vision LASIK is to achieve superior visual outcomes by optimizing the correction based on the individual characteristics of the patient’s cornea.
It’s important to note that the availability of Contoura® Vision LASIK may vary, and not all LASIK centers offer this specific technology. If you are considering LASIK surgery and are interested in Contoura® Vision LASIK, it’s recommended to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon or LASIK eye doctor who can assess your candidacy and discuss the available options for personalized laser vision correction.
