About SILK surgery
SILK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis) is a flapless laser vision-correction technique. A femtosecond laser creates a lenticule within the cornea, which the surgeon removes through a small incision. Whether it is appropriate depends on the prescription, corneal measurements and the treating surgeon’s assessment.
An individual decision
Could it be right for you?
- May suit selected adults with stable myopia and astigmatism within the platform’s treatment range.
- Healthy corneas and an adequate corneal thickness are important.
- Not every prescription or eye condition is suitable; the clinician may recommend LASIK, another option or no surgery.
What an assessment may include
- Comprehensive eye examination and refraction
- Corneal topography and thickness measurements
- Review of tear-film health and treatment alternatives
Tests are selected by the clinician. Information on this page is general guidance, not a diagnosis or a recommendation for surgery.
Important to know
Flapless does not mean risk-free. Dryness, visual disturbances and incomplete correction can occur. Availability and the actual technique proposed must be confirmed at the treating centre.
A care journey, not a recovery promise
Before, during & after your visit.
Care planning that includes your familyAssessment comes first
The surgeon reviews your eyes, explains alternatives and confirms suitability. Review the written estimate before consenting.
Clinician-led recovery
Attend postoperative checks and follow eye-drop and activity advice. Arrange a local follow-up plan and seek clearance before flying.
A Personalised care is a planning framework, not a guaranteed treatment or recovery period. Your clinician decides treatment timing, follow-up and fitness to fly; a longer stay may be needed.
