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

What our patients say
"I was wearing glasses for 14 years. Walked in nervous, walked out reading the clock across the room. Worth every rupee."
"The counseling was honest — they told me exactly which package suited my cornea. No upselling. Surgery itself was under 15 minutes."
"As a doctor I researched a lot before choosing. The technology, surgeon experience and aftercare were all top-notch."
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.
