What is SiLK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis)?
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.

Advanced Laser Vision Correction with SiLK 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.

Key Features and Benefits of SiLK Vision
Small-Incision Technique
A tiny corneal incision is used to remove the precisely created lenticule.
Precision-Based Corneal Reshaping
The lenticule is removed to correct myopia (short-sightedness), with or without astigmatism, in eligible patients.
Potential for Rapid Visual Recovery
Many patients may experience improvement in vision soon after surgery, although recovery time varies depending on individual healing and other factors.
Advanced Laser Technology
Uses sophisticated femtosecond laser technology for controlled lenticule creation and precise corneal reshaping.
Personalised Treatment Planning
Suitability is determined through a comprehensive eye examination and detailed corneal assessment.
The Procedure
A smooth procedure in three easy steps
Create
The laser creates a disc shaped lenticule in the cornea and then creates a microscopic incision next to the lenticule.
Remove
The lenticule is removed through the incision.
Reshape
The cornea reshapes and heals without sutures, correcting the vision.
SiLK Vision
SiLK leads to great outcomes and fast recovery
Quick and Clear Visual Results
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.
Corneal nerve protection
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.
Lower risk of post surgical complications
The laser is very precise that results in minimal collateral tissue damage around the treatment areas.
