Standard LASIK corrects your spectacle power. Contoura Vision goes further - it maps 22,000 unique elevation points across your cornea and uses that data to create a fully personalised laser treatment that standard prescriptions simply cannot deliver.
The result is sharper, clearer vision - with fewer night-time disturbances like glare and halos - making Contoura Vision the gold standard for refractive surgery at Narayana Nethralaya under Dr Naren Shetty.
