What is EPI Contoura Surgery?
EPI Contoura Surgery is an innovative vision correction procedure that combines the precision of Contoura Vision with the safety and effectiveness of the Epi-LASIK technique. It’s designed to deliver enhanced visual outcomes, particularly for individuals with irregular corneas or thinner-than-normal corneal layers.
How Does EPI Contoura Work?
The procedure begins with topography-guided mapping, where a highly advanced system creates a detailed map of your cornea, identifying even the smallest irregularities. Instead of creating a corneal flap like in traditional LASIK, Epi-LASIK gently separates the outer epithelial layer using a specialized device. The underlying corneal tissue is then reshaped using an excimer laser based on the customized map, ensuring sharper vision.
Different Types of EPI-Contoura Procedures
- EPI-Contoura Surgery is a blend of advanced corneal mapping and customized laser correction, offering variations tailored to individual needs. The specific type of EPI-Contoura procedure depends on factors like corneal health, refractive error, and patient requirements. Here are the key types:
- Standard EPI-Contoura: This procedure uses topography-guided technology to correct refractive errors and address corneal irregularities. It’s suitable for patients with mild to moderate refractive errors who desire improved vision clarity and reduced dependency on glasses or contacts.
- EPI-Contoura for Thin Corneas: Designed for individuals with thinner corneas, this procedure avoids creating a flap, making it safer and reducing risks. It’s ideal for patients who may not qualify for traditional LASIK.
- EPI-Contoura with Astigmatism Correction: This variant specifically targets astigmatism by reshaping uneven corneal curvatures. It ensures sharper vision and better focus for patients with higher levels of astigmatism.
- EPI-Contoura for Irregular Corneas: For patients with corneal irregularities, such as those caused by keratoconus or prior surgeries, this approach customizes the laser treatment to correct distortions and enhance visual quality.
- EPI-Contoura Advanced Night Vision: This version focuses on reducing glare, halos, and other night vision issues, offering clearer and more comfortable vision in low-light conditions.
At LJ Eye Institute, we assess your eye health thoroughly to recommend the most suitable type of EPI-Contoura procedure, ensuring safe and effective vision correction tailored to your unique needs.
Benefits of EPI Contoura Surgery:
- Sharper Vision: Corrects refractive errors and corneal irregularities, offering vision better than 20/20 in many cases.
- Flapless Procedure: Minimizes risks such as flap dislocation, making it safer for patients with thin corneas.
- Reduced Glare and Halos: Particularly effective in improving night vision by minimizing visual disturbances.
- Enhanced Safety: Ideal for patients not suited for traditional LASIK due to corneal thickness or shape.
