The choice between Contoura Vision and SMILE depends on factors such as your refractive error, corneal thickness, and the specific characteristics of your eyes. It's essential to consult with a refractive surgeon who can conduct a thorough evaluation of your eyes and provide a personalized recommendation based on your unique needs and goals.

Currently we are operating Myopia from -0.50 to -14.00 Diopters, Hyperopia from +0.50 to +8.00 Dipters, Astigmatism from 0.25D till 6.00D., We also have the procedure for presbyopia. (There are other procedures where we can go beyond this range, this is explained during the consultation with the optometrist and the surgeon both. So people who have prescription out of these range can also book their appointment for other options)

Follow-up examination is the regular eye examination procedure which is carried throughout the life. This can be done with your local optometrist or ophthalmologist. But after surgery 1 week follow up with the clinic is compulsory (if we feel it’s necessary, we always extend this time period)

These procedures (Surgery) can be carried out once an individual is above 18 years of age. There is no upper limit of the age as long as the eye health is suitable.

Before the procedure is done in your eyes, you need go through a detail eye examination. Generally, if all is well you will complete these pre-tests in 2 appointments. The first appoint will be with the optometrist and the second one will be with the surgeon. These appoints are done on separate days. If you are found fit for the surgery in the pre-test, third appointment will be the surgery. We generally operate 3 days in a week. For now, it’s (Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday). So, from the first appointment date you can complete all the procedure in 3-6 days, depending upon the slots of appointment available.
