    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :

    What makes SILK different from LASIK?

    SILK is less invasive than LASIK, as it requires only a small incision in the cornea, which allows for faster healing and minimal discomfort.

    The entire procedure takes about 15-20 minutes, with actual laser time only a few seconds per eye.

    Most patients notice a significant improvement within 24-48 hours after surgery.

    About SILK Eye Surgery

    SILK (SMILE Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis) Eye Surgery is an advanced vision correction procedure designed to treat common refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness). Developed to provide a minimally invasive solution, SILK Eye Surgery involves creating a small incision in the cornea, allowing for faster healing and less discomfort. Dr. Suraj Munjal, a renowned ophthalmologist with years of experience in advanced eye surgery, offers the highest standard of SILK surgery for patients seeking clear and lasting vision.

    Causes of Vision Issues Treated by SILK

    SILK Eye Surgery primarily treats refractive errors caused by irregularities in the shape of the cornea. These can include:

    • Myopia (Nearsightedness): A condition where close objects are clear but distant ones are blurry.
    • Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to an uneven cornea shape.

    These refractive issues often arise due to genetics, aging, or lifestyle factors like excessive screen use.

    Types of Conditions Corrected by SILK Eye Surgery

    SILK Eye Surgery is suitable for various types of vision correction, including:

    • Myopia (Nearsightedness)
    • Astigmatism
    • Combination of myopia with astigmatism

    It is often recommended for patients who are not candidates for LASIK due to thinner corneas or other limitations.

    Symptoms Indicating You May Need SILK Eye Surgery

    If you experience any of the following symptoms, you might benefit from SILK Eye Surgery:

    • Blurry vision at certain distances
    • Difficulty focusing on distant objects
    • Eye strain or discomfort when reading or working on screens

    Dr. Suraj Munjal offers a thorough examination to determine if SILK is the best option for your vision needs.

    Diagnosis: Are You a Candidate for SILK Eye Surgery?

    Dr. Suraj Munjal will conduct a detailed assessment to determine your eligibility for SILK. This may include:

    • Corneal Thickness Test: To ensure your cornea is suitable for the procedure.
    • Eye Health Evaluation: A comprehensive check for any underlying eye conditions.
    • Vision Prescription Stability: Ensuring your prescription has been stable for at least a year for optimal results.

    Treatment: How SILK Eye Surgery Works

    SILK Eye Surgery involves the following steps:

    1. Numbing Drops: To ensure you’re comfortable.
    2. Laser-Assisted Incision: A highly precise laser creates a small incision in the cornea.
    3. Lenticule Removal: The laser removes a thin lens-shaped layer from the cornea to reshape it and correct the vision.
