What is the difference between femto Lasik and Contoura vision?
While the conventional LASIK surgery maps only 200 points on the cornea, the Contoura vision surgery maps 22000 points on cornea. Fewer complications: Contoura vision surgery has fewer complications as compared to conventional LASIK surgery. The damage to the tissue is relatively less and has faster healing time.
Which is better LASIK or femto Lasik?
Femto LASIK can heal faster and result in fewer complications than traditional LASIK because it uses a laser rather than a mechanical cutting tool to make a small flap in the surface of the eye. The end goal is to reshape the cornea with a laser to resolve vision problems like nearsightedness and farsightedness.
What is femto Contoura?
Contoura Vision FemtoLASIK is done on WaveLight Refractive Suite, the fastest laser available in the world. Thin corneal flap is created first using the Bladeless Femtosecond technology on the FS 200 laser. Topoguided laser ablation for refractive correction is performed on the EX500 laser.
Is Contoura vision best?
There are differences between the two types of surgeries in both procedures and visual outcome. Although LASIK has been the gold standard to eliminate the need for spectacles or contact lenses, the Contoura Vision procedure gives better visual acuity and refractive outcome in the vast majority of cases.
How long does Contoura LASIK last?
Contoura LASIK can last fifteen to twenty minutes and is generally said to be free of any discomfort.
How does Contoura Lasik work?
With Contoura Vision, the contours of the cornea generated by the computer analysis are programmed into a specially designed laser used for this procedure. At least 22,000 points of the cornea are mapped. An individualized treatment plan is made, and the laser applies this treatment to the cornea.
