Contoura Vision – the most personalised laser vision correction technique

Main Article Content
Abstract
Personalised laser vision correction procedures are the next step in refractive surgery development. They date back to the late nineties of the twentieth century. Customized ablation treatments are based on wavefront analysis of the optical system of the eye (aberrometry) or on corneal topographical maps. Nowadays, topography-guided custom ablation treatment supersedes the wavefront-guided technique, which is affected by more variables in the eye anatomy. The topography-guided procedure for virgin eyes is called ContouraTM Vision.
