Contoura vision Risks

2023-02-19 17:59:14
As Contoura vision is the latest advancement in Lasik, is it worth taking the risk? As it was FDA approved in 2017 only, is it safe to go for it instead of the old Lasik procedure?

CONTOURA LASIK is a good option. But test your eyes for fitness for the same. A much more advanced technology better than LASIK is SMILE. It’s minimally and least invasive with fastest recovery time. Please consult about these options to any ophthalmologist in person. You can schedule an appointment online for any doubts or counselling regarding these procedures.
