What Is SILK Surgery? Explained Simply
SILK is a flapless laser vision correction technique. Instead of lifting a flap, the laser reshapes the cornea through a tiny opening, preserving the eye’s natural strength:
- A flapless approach suitable for active lifestyles and athletes
- Minimal disruption to the corneal surface and nerves
- Faster visual comfort and recovery after surgery
- Advanced laser precision for accurate vision correction
- Maintains long-term corneal structural strength
Each procedure is selected with a focus on long-term corneal health, not speed or convenience.
