Contoura Vision is a topography guided laser technology used to correct refractive error and thereby decreasing or eliminating dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The technology reduces side effects linked with laser procedures like LASIK and SMILE.[1] It was FDA approved in the US in 2016. The method provides measurement of 22,000 points as compared to 200 points provided by wave front-guided LASIK method. The imperfections in the cornea are recorded and then corrected using a laser.[2][3]
