WHAT IS CONTOURA® VISION LASIK?
Topography-Guided Laser Eye Surgery by WaveLight®
Topography-guided LASIK is an advanced treatment that uses a personalized map of your eye to treat myopia (near-sightedness) or astigmatism (a condition that causes blurred vision).
As the only true topography-guided laser vision correction, CONTOURA® Vision uses more data points from the unique surface shape of an eye than any other LASIK technology to create a personalized, accurate profile of each individual eye.
WHAT IS LASIK?
Laser vision correction surgery (i.e., LASIK) is a safe and popular alternative to glasses and contact lenses. It improves vision by changing the shape of the cornea, the clear front of your eye.
The best way for you to determine if you are a candidate for LASIK is with an in-depth examination of your eyes with your doctor.
CONTOURA MEASURES EVEN MORE OF YOUR EYE
Ultra-high-resolution image of your cornea that detects any abnormalities or changes in shape to understand your specific vision correction needs.
WHAT TO EXPECT
AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE
Once your procedure is complete, you may notice improved vision instantly.
Your safety is the highest priority of your eye doctor and CONTOURA® Vision. Recovering from LASIK is typically quick and easy. Your doctor will likely see you within the first 24 hours, then schedule a follow-up appointment anywhere from 1 week to 1 month after your procedure as directed by your surgeon.
While experiences vary, many people are able to return to work the very next day. Others might experience a few minor side effects, such as watery or red eyes for a few days.
To help with healing:
- Always keep your eyes clean and refrain from rubbing them
- Remember to use the medication prescribed by your eye doctor
- Follow any additional post-procedure instructions your eye doctor may give you
Talk to your doctor to make an informed decision that’s best for you.

LASIK surgery has been shown to be safe and effective, but it’s still surgery, and like any surgical procedure, there can be complications or side effects.
