Refractive surgery corrects vision by reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. The procedure adjusts the way light enters the eye, allowing it to focus correctly on the retina, thus improving vision. This can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
The different types of refractive surgery include LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), Contoura vision and ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens).
Contoura Vision surgery utilizes advanced technology, including topography-guided laser systems, to precisely map the cornea’s surface, allowing for customized treatment and improved outcomes in vision correction procedures.
