For patients seeking vision correction that goes beyond “standard” 20/20, Contoura Vision (also known as Topography-Guided LASIK) represents the next evolution in laser eye surgery.
At Excel Laser Vision Institute, we are proud to offer this FDA-approved technology to our Los Angeles patients. While traditional LASIK corrects your vision based on your eyeglass prescription, Contoura Vision corrects your vision based on the unique, microscopic “topography” of your eye. It is the difference between a suit off the rack and a suit tailored to your exact measurements.
What Makes Contoura Different?
- Traditional LASIK: Treats the eye based on your prescription (nearsightedness/ farsightedness/ astigmatism). It maps roughly 200 points of curvature.
- Contoura Vision: Maps over 22,000 unique elevation points on your cornea.
Signs You Are a Candidate for Contoura
- Astigmatism: Especially irregular astigmatism that glasses or contacts can't fully correct.
- Night Vision Concerns: Patients worried about glare, halos, or starbursts around lights at night.
- "Higher Order Aberrations": Complex visual distortions that standard LASIK might not address.
- Desire for Perfection: Patients (like pilots, artists, or athletes) who demand the sharpest possible visual detail.
The Treatment Process at Excel Laser Vision Institute
1. The Topography Scan
2. The Custom Treatment
3. Rapid Recovery
Because Contoura is a form of LASIK, the recovery is incredibly fast. Most patients notice improved vision immediately after the procedure and can return to work and driving within 24 hours.
Why Choose Contoura at Excel Laser Vision Institute?
- Better Than 20/20 Vision: Clinical studies have shown that 65% of eyes treated with Contoura Vision achieved 20/16 vision or better, effectively outperforming glasses and contact lenses.
- Reduced Side Effects: By smoothing the corneal surface, Contoura significantly reduces common post-LASIK complaints such as light sensitivity, difficulty driving at night, and glare.
- Personalized Care: We don't believe in "assembly line" surgery. Every eye is analyzed individually, and your treatment plan is verified by our expert surgical team to ensure safety and precision.
Real Patients. Real Clarity.

“Dr Moosa was really awesome. He answered every question that I had and he was really personable and I feel like I definitely trusted him….When I went back in for my check up he said I had Superman vision, I had above a 20/20. I didn’t even know that was possible”
