SiLK Vision
The SiLK technology allows quick specs removal, offering next-day recovery. A small laser-incision causes minimal disruption - no blade, no flap, no drama. As a result, patients experience more comfort with a precision laser vision correction option.
Powered by ELITA
Experience the next generation of vision correction with SiLK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis), powered by the ELITA platform from Johnson & Johnson Vision, now available at The Healing Touch Eye Centre.
SiLK is an advanced, flapless laser vision correction procedure that uses precision femtosecond laser technology to create a tiny, precisely shaped lenticule within the cornea. This lenticule is removed through a small incision to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors in eligible patients, offering an advanced option for those seeking greater freedom from glasses and contact lenses.
SiLK Vision
Corrects vision without creating a corneal flap, unlike traditional LASIK.
A tiny corneal incision is used to remove the precisely created lenticule.
The lenticule is removed to correct myopia (short-sightedness), with or without astigmatism, in eligible patients.
Many patients may experience improvement in vision soon after surgery, although recovery time varies depending on individual healing and other factors.
Uses sophisticated femtosecond laser technology for controlled lenticule creation and precise corneal reshaping.
Suitability is determined through a comprehensive eye examination and detailed corneal assessment.
The Procedure
The laser creates a disc shaped lenticule in the cornea and then creates a microscopic incision next to the lenticule.
The lenticule is removed through the incision.
The cornea reshapes and heals without sutures, correcting the vision.
SiLK Vision
SiLK uses a proprietary biconvex lenticule shape where both surfaces are curved to match each other. After removal, the symmetric lenticular surfaces match perfectly, resulting in good visual outcomes from day 1.
The innovative biconvex lenticule design is crafted to minimize corneal nerve damage and enhance nerve regeneration. Damage to corneal nerves can lead to dry eye and other complications.
The laser is very precise that results in minimal collateral tissue damage around the treatment areas.
