Understanding SILK Surgery in Everyday Language
SILK is a flapless laser vision correction technique used to correct refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism. Instead of creating a corneal flap, the laser reshapes vision from within the cornea through a very small opening. Patients often explore SILK surgery because it offers:
- No corneal flap required
- Minimal surface disturbance
