SILK Laser Vision Correction – Myopia Treatment Package

SILK laser vision correction is a modern refractive procedure designed to correct myopia and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
SILK stands for Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis.
It is performed using the ELITA femtosecond laser platform. 
The procedure uses a femtosecond laser to create a precisely shaped corneal lenticule.
The lenticule is then removed through a small incision in the cornea.
Unlike LASIK, SILK does not require creation of a traditional corneal flap.
This makes it a flapless approach to laser vision correction.
The procedure may be considered for suitable patients with myopia after a detailed eye examination.
Before treatment, your ophthalmologist evaluates your spectacle prescription and corneal health.
Corneal thickness, curvature, tear-film health and other eye measurements may also be assessed.
These tests help determine whether laser vision correction is appropriate for you.
SILK may be an option for people who want to reduce their dependence on spectacles or contact lenses.
The treatment is performed under local/topical anaesthesia as determined by the treating ophthalmologist.
The laser creates the required lenticule within the cornea according to the planned correction.
The surgeon then carefully separates and removes the lenticule through the small incision.
Because there is no conventional LASIK flap, the surgical approach differs from LASIK.
Recovery varies from person to person and depends on individual eye characteristics.
Some patients may notice improvement in vision soon after the procedure, while vision continues to stabilize during recovery.
Temporary dryness, irritation, light sensitivity or fluctuations in vision may occur after refractive surgery.
Following postoperative instructions and attending scheduled reviews are important for safe recovery.
Not everyone with myopia is automatically suitable for SILK treatment.
The final treatment recommendation depends on your eye examination and refractive measurements.
Patients should discuss existing eye conditions, medications and previous eye procedures with their ophthalmologist.
A specialist can also explain alternative options such as LASIK, PRK or continued use of glasses and contact lenses.
This package is intended to support evaluation and treatment planning for eligible patients seeking myopia correction.
A comprehensive consultation helps ensure that expectations, suitability and potential risks are clearly discussed.
Choose professional ophthalmic evaluation before deciding on any laser vision correction procedure.
