FOUR STEPS FOR FLAP-FREE VISION CORRECTION
From initial corneal assessment to postoperative healing, treatment is planned according to the characteristics of your eyes.
Corneal topography captures the shape and surface characteristics of the cornea for treatment planning.
Your prescription, corneal map, thickness, and other eye measurements are assessed before treatment.
The surface epithelium is removed before topography-guided laser reshaping is performed without creating a flap.
A protective contact lens supports epithelial healing, with initial recovery generally taking around 3-5 days.

Epi Contoura is a topography-guided surface laser procedure that corrects refractive errors without creating a corneal flap. Detailed mapping captures variations in the corneal surface, allowing laser treatment to be personalised for each eye.
Epi Contoura in Bandra may be considered for suitable patients with myopia or astigmatism, including selected patients whose corneal thickness may limit conventional LASIK.
Suitability for Epi Contoura depends on the patient's prescription, corneal characteristics, and overall eye health. It may also provide an option for selected patients who are not suitable for flap-based LASIK because of corneal thickness.
Eligibility generally includes:
A comprehensive evaluation is required before treatment is recommended.
Epi Contoura offers a surface-based approach to personalised laser vision correction. Potential benefits for suitable patients include:
At Surya Eye, Epi Contoura LASIK in Bandra is performed after numbing eye drops are applied. The laser removes the surface epithelium before reshaping the underlying cornea according to the personalised treatment profile, without creating a corneal flap.
A protective contact lens is placed after treatment to support epithelial healing. Prescribed eye drops and scheduled follow-up examinations form an important part of postoperative care.
At Surya Eye, Epi Contoura is performed using corneal mapping and excimer laser technology to plan and perform personalised surface vision correction. The WaveLight Topolyzer provides detailed information about the corneal surface, while corneal biomechanics assessment helps evaluate strength and stability.
For Epi Contoura eye surgery in Bandra, the WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser provides precise laser delivery with advanced eye tracking. Because the surgery is performed at the corneal surface, a femtosecond laser is not needed to create a flap.
Traditional LASIK requires creation of a corneal flap before the underlying tissue is reshaped. Epi Contoura differs by performing the correction directly at the corneal surface without creating a flap.
This may make Epi Contoura an option for selected patients for whom flap-based LASIK is unsuitable or not preferred. Traditional LASIK, however, generally offers faster initial recovery because epithelial regeneration is not required.
Patients considering Contoura LASIK in Mumbai or flap-free Epi Contoura can undergo detailed evaluation to determine which approach is appropriate for their eyes.
Epi Contoura uses an excimer laser to perform surface vision correction, while SMILE uses a femtosecond laser to create a corneal lenticule that is removed through a small incision.
Neither requires the conventional LASIK flap, but their technique, eligibility criteria, and recovery differ. The appropriate procedure depends on prescription, corneal characteristics, eye health, and other individual factors.
Yes. Epi Contoura is a bladeless, flap-free surface laser procedure. Laser technology is used for epithelial removal and refractive correction without creating a conventional LASIK flap.
Patients considering bladeless Epi Contoura LASIK surgery in Bandra undergo detailed corneal assessment at Surya Eye to determine whether the procedure is appropriate for their eyes.
Initial Epi Contoura recovery generally takes around 3-5 days while the corneal epithelium heals. A protective contact lens is usually worn during this initial period.
Watering, irritation, light sensitivity, discomfort, and blurred or fluctuating vision may occur during early recovery. Vision usually improves progressively, while complete visual stabilisation can take longer.
Protecting the corneal surface during healing is an important part of recovery. Patients are generally advised to:
Recovery instructions may vary according to individual healing.
Temporary symptoms during early healing may include:
Less common risks include delayed epithelial healing, corneal haze, infection, and residual refractive error. Individual risks and expected recovery are discussed before treatment.
Epi Contoura cost in Bandra can vary depending on the patient's refractive error, corneal characteristics, diagnostic findings, and individual treatment requirements.
At Surya Eye, LASIK procedures start from ₹19,999 per eye. Exact Epi Contoura pricing is confirmed after the preoperative evaluation. 0% EMI options may be available, subject to applicable terms.
The overall treatment cost may depend on:
The final cost is confirmed after the required preoperative assessment.
Epi Contoura is normally considered an elective vision correction procedure and may not be covered under standard health insurance. Coverage depends on the insurer and individual policy terms.
Surya Eye offers cashless insurance facilities for eligible patients, subject to the insurer approval and applicable policy terms.

Epi Contoura uses detailed corneal topography to guide personalised surface laser correction. Epi-LASIK is also a surface procedure, but traditionally uses a different method to separate or remove the corneal epithelium before laser treatment.
Suitable candidates are generally adults with a stable prescription, healthy eyes, and appropriate corneal characteristics. It may also be considered for selected patients with thinner corneas who are unsuitable for conventional LASIK.
No. Epi Contoura is a flap-free surface laser procedure. The treatment is performed at the corneal surface without creating or lifting the corneal flap required in conventional LASIK.
Initial epithelial healing generally takes around 3-5 days. Vision improves progressively afterward and may fluctuate during early recovery before becoming clearer and more stable.
Yes. The changes made to the corneal shape during Epi Contoura are intended to be permanent. However, ageing, presbyopia, cataracts, or future changes in eye power can affect vision over time.
The procedure itself is generally not painful because numbing eye drops are used. During the first few days of healing, patients may experience discomfort, watering, irritation, or light sensitivity as the corneal surface recovers.
Epi Contoura has an established safety profile in appropriately selected patients. Detailed corneal evaluation helps determine suitability, while proper postoperative care and follow-up are important because, like any laser vision correction procedure, potential risks can occur.
Many patients can return to work after the initial healing period, depending on visual comfort and the nature of their work. Recovery varies, so the ophthalmologist will advise when it is appropriate to resume work.
It may correct a range of refractive errors, but suitability for higher prescriptions depends on the degree of refractive error, corneal thickness and shape, and other eye measurements. A detailed evaluation is required.
Epi Contoura's topography-guided treatment is designed to provide personalised vision correction based on the corneal surface. Individual night-vision outcomes vary, and glare or halos may temporarily occur during early recovery.
Evaluation generally includes refraction, corneal topography, corneal thickness and shape assessment, and a comprehensive eye examination. Additional tests may be recommended depending on the patient's prescription and corneal characteristics.
Yes, it may be considered for selected patients with thinner corneas who do not meet conventional LASIK requirements. However, thin corneas do not automatically make someone eligible; detailed corneal assessment is necessary.
Driving should be avoided immediately after Epi Contoura. Patients can resume driving once vision is sufficiently clear and stable and their ophthalmologist confirms that it is safe to do so.
