Contoura Vision LASIK Surgery in Delhi
Want to remove your glasses and see as sharply as possible? Contoura Vision is a flap-based LASIK that is planned from a very detailed map of your own cornea, so the laser treats its tiny irregularities too.
Quick Answer: What Is Contoura Vision LASIK?
Contoura Vision LASIK is a flap-based laser eye surgery guided by your corneal topography. At Save Sight Centre, scans first map more than 1,00,000 points on your cornea. A thin flap is created, and an excimer laser then reshapes the cornea by following that map, correcting your power and smoothing aberrations that blur vision, glare or night halos. It treats short sight, long sight and astigmatism, and costs ₹90,000 for both eyes. Suitability is confirmed after a full eye exam. See our overall LASIK surgery page for other options.
Key Takeaways
- It is a flap-based LASIK, with an excimer laser planned from your personal corneal map.
- The map covers 1,00,000+ points, so it can target aberrations, not just the power number.
- It corrects myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, and is done the same day.
- Cost at Save Sight Centre is ₹90,000 for both eyes, confirmed after your tests.
- Not everyone is suitable. Thin or irregular corneas, keratoconus and severe dry eye need other options.
Understanding Contoura Vision LASIK
What is Contoura Vision LASIK in simple words?
Think of your cornea as the front window of your eye. Even a clear window can have tiny bumps and dips that you cannot feel, called aberrations. They can cause glare, halos and less crisp vision, even with glasses. Contoura Vision first maps those bumps in great detail. The laser then reshapes the cornea to fix both your power and those uneven spots.
Is Contoura Vision a flap-based or flapless procedure?
It is flap based. A thin protective flap is lifted, the excimer laser reshapes the tissue beneath, and the flap is placed back where it seals naturally. If you prefer a flapless option, see Clear Supra.
What can it correct?
Short sight (myopia), long sight (hyperopia) and astigmatism. Learn more about refractive errors.
How Contoura Vision Works
How does the topography map guide the laser?
1. A far more detailed map
Standard planning mainly uses your power. Contoura adds a topography map of over 1,00,000 points of your cornea, showing its exact shape.
2. A treatment made only for you
Software turns that map into a personal laser plan, so no two treatments are the same.
3. Fewer leftover aberrations
By smoothing uneven spots, it aims for clearer vision and fewer night-time glare problems.

Contoura Vision vs Other Laser Procedures
How is Contoura different from normal LASIK, Clear Supra and TransPRK?
| Feature | Contoura Vision | Conventional LASIK | Clear Supra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | Topography-guided, 1,00,000+ points | Mostly based on power | Lenticule plan |
| Flap | Yes | Yes | No (flapless) |
| Treats corneal aberrations | Yes, by design | Limited | Not the main aim |
| Good for | Sharp quality of vision, astigmatism | Simple, regular corneas | Dry-eye prone, active lifestyles |
For thin corneas, TransPRK is another option. Our customized LASIK page explains how corneal topography is used for tailored treatment.

Who Is Suitable for Contoura Vision?
Am I a good candidate for Contoura Vision LASIK?
Usually suitable if you:
- Are 18 or older (see best age for LASIK)
- Have stable power for about a year
- Have healthy eyes with adequate corneal thickness
- Have a clear, regular topography map
May need another option if you have:
- Keratoconus or a very thin cornea
- Severe dry eyes
- Active eye infection or uncontrolled disease
- Are pregnant or nursing
Which tests decide this?
We use corneal topography, Pentacam, pachymetry and a dry eye test. Your retina is also checked. If a weak spot is found, it is treated with laser first, and LASIK is planned after it settles. Not suitable for laser? Ask about ICL surgery.
Recovery After Contoura Vision LASIK
How long does recovery take?
Do
- Use drops on time
- Wear sunglasses outdoors
- Take screen breaks
Avoid
- Rubbing your eyes
- Swimming and dusty places early on
- Skipping follow-ups

Contoura Vision LASIK Cost in Delhi
How much does Contoura Vision cost at Save Sight Centre?
The package covers the planning scans, the surgery and the follow-up care. No-cost EMI is available. Insurance usually covers LASIK only in limited cases, so check your policy or ask our TPA desk. Compare with other options on our LASIK page.
Which Doctor Should You Ask?
“The map decides the plan. When the cornea is mapped in this much detail, we can tailor the laser to the eye in front of us, and we also know early if someone should choose another option.”
“Good results begin with honest screening. We would rather advise a different procedure than operate on an eye that is not ready.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Contoura Vision LASIK
What is Contoura Vision LASIK?
Contoura Vision is a topography-guided, flap-based LASIK. Save Sight Centre first maps over 1,00,000 points on your cornea, then an excimer laser follows that map to correct your power and smooth out corneal aberrations.
How is Contoura Vision different from normal LASIK?
Both create a flap and use an excimer laser. Contoura plans the laser from a detailed corneal map, so it treats your cornea's own irregularities, not just the power number. Save Sight Centre advises it when your map shows aberrations.
Is Contoura Vision better than LASIK?
Contoura is a more personalised form of LASIK and may give sharper, higher-quality vision in suitable eyes, but results vary. Save Sight Centre recommends whichever procedure your tests show is safest for you.
How many points does Contoura Vision map on the cornea?
At Save Sight Centre the topography map covers more than 1,00,000 points on the cornea. This detail helps the laser target aberrations that standard power-based treatment may miss.
What is the cost of Contoura Vision LASIK in Delhi?
Contoura Vision LASIK at Save Sight Centre costs ₹90,000 for both eyes. The final quote is confirmed after your eye examination, and no-cost EMI options are available.
Is Contoura Vision LASIK painful?
No. Numbing drops are used, so most people feel only light pressure during the short laser step. Save Sight Centre also advises mild grittiness or watering for a few hours afterwards is common.
What is the recovery time after Contoura Vision?
Vision usually improves within 24 to 48 hours, and many people return to light work in a few days. Save Sight Centre schedules check-ups on day 1, week 1 and month 1, with full stability over a few weeks.
Who is eligible for Contoura Vision LASIK?
You should usually be 18 or older, with stable power for about a year, healthy eyes and enough corneal thickness. Save Sight Centre does not advise it for keratoconus, thin corneas or severe dry eye, and offers alternatives like ICL or surface laser.
Is Contoura Vision LASIK safe, and what are the risks?
It is a well-established procedure when patients are screened properly. Common effects are temporary dry eye and glare, while rare risks include infection, flap problems and under- or over-correction. Save Sight Centre explains all risks before surgery.
Can Contoura Vision correct astigmatism?
Yes. It treats myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, and its mapping is especially useful when the cornea is unevenly shaped. Save Sight Centre checks your corneal map first to confirm the plan.
Are the results of Contoura Vision permanent?
The corrected shape of the cornea is long lasting, but eyes can still change with age, and reading glasses are usually needed after 40. Save Sight Centre advises yearly eye check-ups.
Contoura Vision vs Clear Supra or SMILE: which should I choose?
Contoura is flap-based and guided by corneal topography, while Clear Supra is a flapless lenticule procedure. Save Sight Centre chooses based on your corneal map, thickness, lifestyle and power.
