About EPI Contoura

EPI Contoura combines the precision of topography-guided Contoura mapping with a surface ablation (no-flap) technique. The epithelium is gently moved aside, the cornea is reshaped using 22,000 mapping points, and the epithelium regenerates naturally.

Best for: Thin corneas, contact sports, defence aspirants, dry-eye prone patients

Frequently asked questions

How is EPI Contoura different from Contoura Vision?+

Both use the same 22,000-point map. Contoura Vision creates a corneal flap; EPI Contoura is flapless — the epithelium is gently moved aside and regenerates naturally.

Is recovery longer than LASIK?+

Visual recovery takes 4–7 days versus 2–3 for LASIK, but long-term outcomes are equivalent or better.

Is it safe for thin corneas?+

Yes — EPI Contoura is one of the safest options for thinner corneas because no flap is created.

Is it approved for defence and sports?+

Yes — flapless surface procedures are widely accepted by Indian armed forces and ideal for contact-sport athletes.
