What Exactly Is SILK Surgery—and How Is It Different?
SILK is a flapless laser vision correction procedure. Instead of creating a flap, the laser forms a very thin internal layer inside the cornea which is removed through a tiny opening, leaving the surface largely untouched.
- Avoids making a corneal flap
- Causes minimal surface disturbance
- Often allows faster visual comfort in suitable cases
- Can suit people with active routines and physically demanding lifestyles
- Uses highly precise next-generation laser technology
Your doctor will explain clearly whether SILK offers a real advantage for your eye profile or if another method is better.
