Procedure of SiLK in Eye Surgery
SiLK is a recent advancement in laser vision correction surgery. It’s a flap-less procedure designed to address nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea, the clear dome at the front of your eye.
Here a breakdown of procedure
- Femtosecond laser: A specialized laser called a femtosecond laser creates a tiny, disc-shaped piece of corneal tissue called a lenticule within the cornea.
- Lenticule removal: The surgeon makes a small incision on the surface of the cornea and carefully removes the lenticule.
- Cornea reshaping: Removing the lenticule alters the curvature of the cornea, correcting the focusing power of the eye and potentially reducing or eliminating your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
