Experience Glasses-Free Vision with SMILE/SILK Technology Are you ready to bid farewell to glasses or contact lenses and embrace clear, natural vision? SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) or SILK (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction with Keratoplasty) technology may be the solution you’ve been seeking. At AURA Adult & Child Eye Care, we’re proud to offer this innovative laser vision correction technology to help patients achieve sharper, more vibrant vision with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What is SMILE/SILK Technology?
SMILE and SILK are minimally invasive laser vision correction techniques designed to correct common refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. Unlike traditional LASIK, which involves creating a corneal flap, SMILE/SILK procedures use a femtosecond laser to create a small, precise incision in the cornea to access and remove a small lenticule of corneal tissue.
Benefits of SMILE/SILK Technology:
Minimally Invasive:
SMILE/SILK procedures involve a smaller incision compared to traditional LASIK, resulting in less disruption to the cornea and faster healing.
Preserves Corneal Stability:
Since SMILE/SILK procedures preserve more of the corneal tissue’s structural integrity, they may be particularly suitable for patients with thin or irregular corneas.
Reduced Risk of Dry Eye:
By minimizing disruption to the corneal nerves, SMILE/SILK technology may reduce the risk of dry eye syndrome and other post-operative complications.
Quick Recovery:
Many patients experience rapid visual recovery and return to their normal activities within a few days after SMILE/SILK surgery, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
