Is Contoura Vision Painful? Debunking Myths About Advanced LASIK
Contoura Vision is one of the most advanced forms of LASIK eye surgery available today. Known for its precision and personalized results, this cutting-edge technology has transformed the way we correct vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Yet, many people hesitate to undergo the procedure due to concerns about pain and discomfort. So, the big question is: Is Contoura Vision painful?
Understanding Contoura Vision
Contoura Vision is a US FDA-approved technology and a topography-guided LASIK procedure. Unlike traditional LASIK, which uses a standard ablation pattern, Contoura Vision creates a personalized treatment plan based on the unique topography of your cornea. This results in better visual clarity, fewer side effects like halos or glare, and a smoother recovery.
At LJ Eye Institute, Ambala, Contoura Vision is performed by highly experienced eye surgeons using world-class technology in a sterile, patient-friendly environment.
Is the Procedure Painful? Let’s Debunk the Myths
Myth 1: LASIK is a Painful Surgery
Fact: The entire Contoura Vision procedure is virtually painless. Before starting, your eye is numbed using anesthetic eye drops. This ensures you feel no pain during the laser treatment, which typically takes only 15–20 minutes for both eyes.
Myth 2: You’ll Feel Discomfort During the Laser Process
Fact: During the laser, you might feel a mild pressure sensation, but no sharp pain. Most patients at LJ Eye Institute report being surprised at how quick and comfortable the process is.
Myth 3: The Recovery Period is Painful
Fact: Recovery after Contoura Vision is fast and largely pain-free. You may experience mild dryness, irritation, or watery eyes for a day or two. Eye drops and protective glasses are provided to ease recovery and prevent infection. Patients usually resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
