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.
PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
What is PRK Surgery?
PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery that is used to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. PRK is an alternative to LASIK eye surgery and is particularly suitable for individuals who may not be candidates for LASIK due to certain corneal characteristics.
Overview of the PRK surgery process:
- Corneal Epithelium Removal:
- In PRK, the surgeon begins by removing the thin outer layer of the cornea called the epithelium. This can be done using an alcohol solution, a special brush, or a laser.
- Laser Reshaping of the Cornea:
- Once the epithelium is removed, a laser is used to precisely reshape the cornea. The laser ablates or removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue based on the patient’s refractive error. The goal is to correct the curvature of the cornea and improve the focus of light on the retina.
- Healing Process:
- Unlike LASIK, where a corneal flap is created, PRK does not involve creating a flap. Instead, the corneal surface is allowed to regenerate naturally. The healing process involves the growth of new epithelial cells over the treated area.
- Post-operative Care:
- Following PRK surgery, patients are given medicated eye drops to aid in the healing process and prevent infection. Recovery may take a bit longer compared to LASIK, and patients may experience temporary discomfort during the initial days.
Key considerations for PRK surgery include:
- Corneal Thickness: PRK may be a suitable option for individuals with thinner corneas who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK.
- Occupational Considerations: PRK may be recommended for individuals with occupations or lifestyles that carry a risk of corneal injury, as it eliminates the creation of a corneal flap.
- Healing Time: The initial visual recovery may take longer with PRK compared to LASIK. Patients typically experience optimal vision several weeks after the procedure.
PRK is a well-established and effective procedure for vision correction, and its suitability depends on individual factors. It’s important to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon or eye care professional to determine the most appropriate laser eye surgery option based on your eye health and lifestyle.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery is performed under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL)
Keratoconus is a progressive disease of the cornea. With collagen cross-linking (CXL), you can halt the progression of keratoconus by strengthening your cornea.
Lifestyle Lenses
Lifestyle lenses are a premium lens option that offers a more functional range of vision, and are designed to reduce the need for distance and reading glasses.
We offer the latest and most advanced lifestyle lens on the market.
Monovision LASIK
Monovision lasik can treat presbyopia. One eye would remain slightly nearsighted while correcting your other eye for distance vision. With both eyes open, you’ll experience clear and comfortable vision both near and far.

Cataract Surgery FAQs
What is an Intraocular Lens?
A cataract is when your natural lens becomes cloudy. When cataract surgery is performed, your cloudy lens is removed and replaced by a clear lens, an intraocular lens (IOL). The IOL restores the ability to see. Different types of IOLs are available. You will have the option of choosing the lens that best fits your lifestyle, including IOLs that will allow you to function free from glasses and contacts. The lens is permanent, needs no maintenance, and can remain in the eye for your entire life.
Is surgery the only option for cataract removal?
A cataract affects a patient’s quality of life by reducing their vision. Patients with cataracts will complain of reduced ability to see especially at night, also, difficulty reading, glare and halos at night, difficulty driving, and loss of clarity of images.These symptoms will worsen over time and, if left untreated, could lead to loss of vision. Cataract surgery is the only option to remove the cataract and correct a patient’s vision. There are different techniques in how a surgeon can remove a cataract. Your NVISION® surgeon will explain the options available to you and recommend what is best for you and your needs.
Is there a solution for people who need glasses and have cataracts?
Patients who need glasses and have cataracts, have the option of improving their vision and reducing or eliminating the need for glasses and contacts by choosing an IOL that is best suited for their lifestyle.
Refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (the inability to focus close-up), and/or astigmatism (football shaped cornea) are all treatable with intraocular lenses.
In order to fine-tune results post cataract surgery, PRK or LASIK can also be performed.
What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that results in the loss of flexibility in the eye’s lens. This decreased flexibility makes it difficult to read near objects like books and newspapers. Over time, it becomes impossible to see well at near without the use of reading glasses or bifocals/progressive lenses. Selecting a lifestyle lens solution for your cataract surgery could alleviate presbyopic symptoms.
Does Medicare cover cataract surgery?
Yes. Medicare Part B covers medically necessary cataract surgery with a standard (monofocal) lens implant. After your Part B deductible, you typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, which a supplemental (Medigap) plan may cover. Premium lifestyle lenses and laser-assisted surgery cost extra and are paid out of pocket. Medicare also covers one pair of standard glasses or contacts after surgery. Our team will always verify your benefits before your procedure.
What's the difference between laser-assisted and traditional cataract surgery?
Both remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens. The difference is how the first steps are done. In traditional surgery, the surgeon makes the small incisions and opening by hand before breaking up the cataract with ultrasound. In laser-assisted surgery, a femtosecond laser performs those steps and softens the cataract with computer-guided precision. NVISION specializes in laser-assisted cataract surgery, and your surgeon will recommend the right approach for your eyes. The laser is an added cost that insurance usually doesn’t cover.
Which lens (IOL) is right for me?
That depends on your eyes, your lifestyle and how much you want to rely on glasses after surgery. A standard monofocal lens, covered by insurance, gives clear vision at one distance, usually far, so most people still need reading glasses. A toric lens corrects astigmatism. Premium options like multifocal, extended depth of focus and light-adjustable lenses can provide a wider range of vision and reduce your need for glasses. Your surgeon will measure your eyes and walk you through the options at your evaluation.
How long is recovery after cataract surgery?
Most patients see clearer the day after surgery and return to normal activities within a few days. For the first week or two, avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise and rubbing your eye, and use your prescribed drops as directed. Your vision will keep improving and stabilize over the following weeks, and you’ll have follow-up visits to make sure you’re healing well. If both eyes need surgery, the second eye is usually done one to two weeks after the first.
Will I be awake during cataract surgery?
Yes, but you’ll be relaxed and comfortable. We use numbing eye drops and give you medication to ease anxiety, so you shouldn’t feel pain. The procedure itself usually takes about 10–20 minutes, and you’ll go home the same day. Plan to have someone drive you home.
