How SILK Surgery Is Decided

At Shroff Eye Centre, laser vision correction is not pre-decided. Before SILK surgery is even discussed, doctors evaluate corneal structure, eye power stability, tear film quality, and retinal health. Only if these findings support safety is SILK considered as an option.

If SILK is not appropriate, doctors explain this clearly and suggest safer alternatives without pressure.

What Makes SILK Surgery Different from Traditional LASIK

SILK is a flapless laser vision correction procedure. Instead of cutting or lifting a corneal flap, the laser removes a thin layer of tissue from within the cornea through a very small opening. This approach helps maintain corneal strength while correcting refractive error. Patients often consider SILK because it offers:

• No corneal flap
• Minimal surface disturbance
• Faster visual comfort
• Advanced laser precision
