Contoura vision topography is a highly detailed map of the corneal surface used to guide personalised laser eye surgery.
How contoura vision mapping works
The system captures thousands of data points from the front of the eye. This information shows tiny hills and valleys on the cornea that could affect visual quality.
- The scan is painless and involves looking at a small light
- Multiple measurements are taken to ensure accuracy
- Results highlight even very small surface irregularities
- The process takes just a few minutes per eye
Why contoura mapping matters
By using this personalised map, surgeons can plan treatment that smooths the cornea more precisely. This may improve clarity, contrast, and night vision compared with standard treatments.
- Helps select the safest and most effective laser profile
- Useful for patients with complex prescriptions or previous lens wear
- Supports discussion about expected results and realistic goals
- Forms part of a comprehensive pre-surgery assessment
