Topoguided/
Contoura Lasik

Topoguided or Contoura Laisk is basically a treatment plan for reshaping the cornea with laser. Contoura Lasik itself is not a type of Lasik.

 

The corneal reshaping profile is planned with a scan performed before surgery which is called Topolyser scan study. Subsequently, as per the surface study of cornea a unique treatment profile for reshaping the cornea is planned in Machine.

 

Topoguided / Contoura Lasik can be performed in any approach of Lasik, i.e., through PRK, All Laser Lasik, Blade Lasik or SMILe Lasik

 

Topo guided Lasik / Contoura Lasik is most unique method since in this method the entire visual field of patient is taken into the consideration unlike other Lasiks where only Pupillary axis (Central part of eye) is taken into consideration.

 

Topolyser Scan study is performed to understand the following observations on cornea

1) Whether the cornea is regular or irregular
2) Whether the thickness is uniform across cornea or are there any thin and steep areas
3) Whether the cornea is stable or unstable for a refractive surgery

 

Topolyser / Contoura profile is derived based on the corneal study performed at 22000 different
points on Cornea. The treatment profile is used to

Why Topoguided / Contoura Lasik?

  • Topoguided treatment plan is unique for each patient according to their corneal surface
  • Ideal choice for all regular and stable corneas
  • Can be used for all approaches of Lasik i.e., Flap and Non-Flap Lasiks
  • No starburst and colour halos

FAQs

Topoguided or Contoura Lasik is per se not a type of Lasik, it is an ablation profile (corneal
reshaping treatment profile) used for reshaping the cornea uniquely to offer a glassfreelife

Topoguided of Contoura technique is just a treatment plan technique, whether to go for a lasik or
not as per the thickness is determined by approach of Lasik we chose. For all thin corneas the
preferred choice is PRK and if you chose to go for PRK, wavefront guided PRK is suitable for thin
corneas. However, whether we can perform Lasik or not on thin corneas will be determined only
after consultation

Yes, people with moderate astigmatism i.e., up to -3.00 Cylindrical can easily go for Topoguided or
Contoura Lasik either through PRK or Flap Lasik approach

If you have established keratoconus and you have been on any kind of corrective treatment like
Rigid Contact Lenses etc, you cannot undergo Lasik treatment. You need to first go for corneal
stabilization procedures.

There is no such better or best treatment plan, each procedure has its own advantages. For
people with stable and irregular corneas Contoura (Topo guided lasik) is best choice. But for
people with regular and stable corneas, Contoura Lasik doesn’t provide any additional benefits
than Wavefront Guided Lasik

When performed with Flap Lasiks or SMILe it is 1 Day. When performed with PRK 1 week
