For residents of Jor Bagh considering laser vision correction without a corneal flap, SILK surgery at Shroff Eye Centre — Connaught Place provides a medically responsible and evaluation-led option. SILK is a modern laser technique that corrects eye power without creating a flap on the cornea.

Understanding SILK Surgery — How It Differs
SILK is a flapless laser vision correction procedure. Instead of creating a corneal flap, the laser forms a thin internal layer within the cornea, which is gently removed through a very small opening. SILK may be considered because it:
- Avoids creation of a corneal flap
- Minimises surface disturbance and preserves the corneal surface
- Supports faster comfort in suitable cases
- Works well for active lifestyles
- Uses advanced laser precision for accurate correction
Each option is selected with a focus on long-term corneal health, not speed or convenience.
