The technology behind LASIK eye surgery is constantly evolving, with the goal of providing the best possible results for people who choose LASIK. Contoura Vision, also known as topography-guided LASIK, is one of the latest advances in LASIK technology, and it’s a big one. With topography guided LASIK, your LASIK surgeon is able to get a more accurate picture of the structure of your eye, and better personalize your LASIK surgery to your unique vision correction needs.
Now is a great time to talk about what to expect from topography-guided LASIK, along with who can benefit from the latest advance in LASIK technology.
Topography-guided LASIK is the latest advancement in LASIK technology providing a more accurate method for measuring your eye structure, and personalizing your LASIK procedure. With this exciting LASIK technological advancement, the surgeon can obtain more detailed information and measurements on the structure of the eye and cornea which provides a more individualized, customization for the LASIK procedure.
You won’t actually notice a big difference in the LASIK process, because you’ll still go through the same steps as you would have for the traditional LASIK procedure. Since LASIK works by making microscopic changes to the shape of the cornea, however, the accuracy of topography-guided LASIK provides your surgeon with a better “map” of your eye structure.
While LASIK can be life-changing – enhancing your lifestyle and freedoms – many topography-guided LASIK patients report experiencing better vision quality than they ever did with glasses or contacts. Some additional benefits include:
Just like other LASIK vision correction procedures, topography-guided LASIK can be used to address many of the most common vision problems, like nearsightedness and astigmatism.
