How does SILK Vision Correction Work?

Create

SILK uses a precise Femto Laser eye technology called ELITA. The laser creates a small disc-shaped tissue in the cornea (called a Lenticule) and a microscopic incision on the corneal surface.

Remove

Our refractive surgeon delicately removes the lenticule through the microscopic incision.

reshape

The Silky-smooth lenticule removal leaves reshapes your cornea and corrects your eye power.

What does SILK correct?

SILK can correct your eye power by changing the shape of your cornea.

  • Myopia (Minus number) correction
  • Astigmatism or cylindrical power correction

Why choose SILK?

safety

It’s safer than LASIK for sportspersons, those in active combat or those in professions where there are chances of injury. This is because we do not make a corneal flap- which means the cornea remains more stable.

SWIFT RECOVERY

The recovery time is rapid and comparable to LASIK. Most patients are able to see clearly within 24 hours with vision continuing to become clearer over the next 7 days.

SATISFACTION

Transient post-LASIK/PRK dryness is a common issue faced by many. However, SILK causes the least dry eye issues out of all as the front layer of the cornea is minimally handled. This means the recovery period of patients is faster.

Risks of SILK

The safety profile of SILK is very high and comparable to other lenticule based procedures. However, as it is a procedure, it carries an inherent risk. Although rare, complications and risks such as infections etc do sometimes occur. Please speak with our ophthalmologists to understand the risks of SILK.

Planning for specs removal?

Here’s what you need to know

1

Eligibility

You should be at least 18 years of age and your spectacles power should be stable for the last one year. Read more here for detailed eligibility criteria for SILK.

2

Assessment

If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will need to be examined by our refractive specialists. You will also undergo extensive eye testing. This is to make sure your corneal biomechanics and retina are in good shape.

3

Discussion

With investigations done, our refractive specialists will discuss specs removal options which would be safe for you. We have all options for specs removal at Shroff Eye Centre- SILK, Bladefree LASIK (Femto Contoura), Blade LASIK, Streamlight PRK, Conventional PRK and ICL.

4

Post-assessment

If you are fit for SILK, you can book your date for your procedure. It is done on another day after the assessment as there are some pre-procedure guidelines you must follow.

5

Procedure

You reach our eye hospital on the date & time of your procedure, change and relax. Our refractive surgeon will call you into the theater when they are ready. We numb your eyes with topical anesthetic eye drops right before the procedure. The procedure itself takes only around 10 minutes.

Post-operative Care

While SILK has minimal postoperative dryness, you do still have to observe some precautions. Our refractive surgeons will prescribe some eye drops and explain how to care for your eyes till your eye heals. You also have to visit us for post procedure eye checkups.

I had I-Lasik done from Dr. Rushad Shroff at Kailash Colony branch. The procedure was smooth and done hygeinically. Pre surgery and post surgery instructions were given properly and follow up was carried timely. Dr. Rushad is very soft spoken and explained everything properly.

Shreya Dixit

The best decision that I took in my entire life. I got Bladeless LASIK. Hands-down best experience. Get it done by Dr. Rishad Shroff. Very friendly and caring. You won’t feel like you’re undergoing a surgery. They’ll take full care of your eyes and in no time you’ll be seeing everything without the glasses. I had my reservations before getting the surgery, but now that I have gotten it done. This has absolutely been life changing and to be honest, very empowering. There are so many minor inconveniences of wearing glasses that you don’t even realise till you get rid of them. Lasik has been life changing. So whatever you pay for it it’s worth it. It’s your eyes afterall.

Swastik Swarup Das

My Femto lasik Surgery was performed by Dr. Rushad Shroff. My vision is restored post lasik and it is improving every day. Dr. Rushad addressed all my queries and concerns. Dr. Rushad is extremely patient and provided perfect guidance. While performing Surgery as well he kept communicating and made the whole process seamless . I was very much apprehensive about lasik, but in hindsight it was best decision to get operated by Dr. Rushad. Highly recommend Dr. Rushad for surgery. The whole institution is well managed , they treat patient with dignity and tremendous respect, and they provide very good holistic treatment. Unlike other hospitals they aren’t greedy, they are driven by the principal of taking good care of patients.

FAQs

What is SILK?

SILK or Small Incision Lenticule Extraction is the latest refractive laser procedure introduced by J&J Vision. It is a corneal lenticule-based procedure (without corneal flap) which corrects myopia (near-sightedness) and astigmatism by changing the corneal shape. SILK is performed by the ELITA Femtosecond LASER platform- one of the most advanced laser vision correction technologies available for specs removal.

Am I a candidate for the SILK Procedure?

There are some basic criteria you must meet before SILK. You must

  • Be Over 18 years of age & have stable eye power for a year at least.
  • Meet corneal safety parameters
  • Not have other eye problems such as keratoconus or retina problems
  • Not be Pregnant or Lactating
  • Not have any chronic systemic conditions such as Autoimmune diseases
Read here if you are planning for SILK. (Link to planning for Specs removal)

Can I start looking at my phone after SILK?

While most people are able to see without their glasses immediately after the procedure, we ask you to avoid screens on the day of the procedure. Your vision will clear up more by the next day and continue to improve over the next 7 days.

Is SILK painful?

Patients usually experience minimal discomfort during the SILK Procedure. Your eyes are numbed with eye drops which makes the surgery pain-free. However you may feel a pressure sensation on your eye- this lasts for a very short time. Post surgery, the discomfort is usually minimal too. If required, you’ll be prescribed medication by our refractive surgeons.

When can I wear makeup after SILK specs removal?

You’ll receive detailed post-procedure instructions. Usually we ask you to refrain from wearing eye makeup for 4 weeks.

Is there an age limit for the SILK Procedure?

Yes, you must be over 18 years of age.

What is the cost of the SILK specs removal procedure?

Refractive procedures start from upwards of Rs. 50k. As the technology is new the cost of SILK is more. Call us Now to get an estimate.

How long does SILK take?

The actual procedure usually takes less than 15-20 minutes.

Can I drive home after SILK?

No, Someone else must drive you home as your vision will be a little blurry right after surgery.

How soon after LASIK may I resume driving?

You may start driving as soon as you see well. This is usually 1 to 3 days after the procedure. Please discuss with your surgeon after as everyone is different.

Can I go back to work right away?

We recommend that you take the day off on the day of surgery. Most people who have SILK can work from the very next day. There may be some restrictions on driving, hair wash and makeup - so please keep this in mind and discuss with your doctor.

How soon after SILK Laser eye surgery can I resume normal activities?

There are a few small restrictions in the first few weeks following laser surgery, but many SILK patients are able to resume normal activities the following day! Most patients recover rapidly post SILK eye surgery and are able to see clearly 24-48 hours after surgery. Further vision improvement will gradually keep happening. Your doctor will recommend avoiding certain activities, like swimming, contact sports etc for several weeks.
