SMILE Pro vs Contoura Vision
Contoura Vision is a topography-guided, flap-based LASIK on an excimer platform that maps the cornea in detail to refine the correction. SMILE Pro is flap-free and removes a lenticule through a small incision using the ZEISS VISUMAX 800. Contoura Vision is often discussed for detailed, topography-guided correction; SMILE Pro for being flap-free and gentle on the corneal surface. Your surgeon matches the method to your eyes.

Two strong options, different philosophies
Contoura Vision uses detailed corneal topography to guide a flap-based excimer treatment, and is often chosen when the goal is a highly customised correction of the corneal surface. SMILE Pro takes a flap-free, single-laser route. Both are advanced and widely used in Pune — the choice comes down to your corneal map, prescription and priorities such as dry-eye tendency or a preference for flap-free surgery.
