Refractive surgery includes procedures that correct vision by reshaping the cornea or implanting a lens inside the eye, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Contoura Vision is an advanced, topography-guided LASIK procedure that provides customized laser correction based on detailed mapping of the cornea, improving both vision and visual quality.
SILK is a minimally invasive, flapless procedure in which a thin lenticule is created within the cornea using a laser and removed through a small incision. It preserves corneal strength and allows smooth recovery.
ICL is a lens that is implanted inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, to correct vision. It does not involve removing corneal tissue and is especially useful for patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas.
The choice depends on eye structure, refractive error, and suitability.

A detailed evaluation determines the best option (Contoura, SILK, or ICL).
The correction is generally long-lasting. However, natural age-related changes (such as presbyopia) may still occur over time.
Most patients can return to routine work within a few days, depending on the procedure and healing response.
Depending on suitability, options may include:
