Corneal irregularities are abnormalities in the shape or curvature of the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. These irregularities can cause vision problems, such as blurry vision, astigmatism, and halos and starbursts at night.
Contoura LASIK is a type of laser vision correction surgery that can be used to treat corneal irregularities. It uses a 3D map of the cornea to create a personalized treatment plan. This makes it a good option for people who may not be suitable for traditional LASIK surgery.
During Contoura LASIK, a femtosecond laser is used to create a thin flap in the cornea. The flap is then lifted up and the excimer laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue. The flap is then replaced and the eye heals naturally.
If you're considering Contoura LASIK for corneal irregularities, choosing the right care provider is essential. Eye Hospital in Bangalore offers state-of-the-art facilities and expertise for laser vision correction treatments, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients.
Contoura LASIK has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of corneal irregularities, including:
- Thin corneas
- Ectasia (a condition in which the cornea bulges)
- Dry eye
- Keratoconus (a condition in which the cornea becomes cone-shaped)
- Pterygium (a growth on the cornea)
- Scars on the cornea
