The Eye Foundation.
At The Eye Foundation, we are proud to introduce SILK – Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis for the first time in Chennai, one of the world’s most advanced and flapless laser eye surgeries. Designed with cutting-edge ELITA femtosecond laser technology, SILK offers unmatched precision, safety, and comfort – helping you achieve crystal-clear vision with minimal downtime.
SILK is a next-generation laser vision correction procedure used to treat:
Unlike traditional LASIK, SILK is flapless – meaning less invasive, faster healing, and ideal for people with thinner corneas or active lifestyles.

SILK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis) is a flapless, minimally invasive vision-correction procedure using a femtosecond laser (ELITA) to create and remove a small lenticule from the cornea, reshaping it to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism with high precision.
The ELITA femtosecond laser carves a thin, customized lenticule inside the cornea. Surgeons then remove it through a small incision, reshaping the cornea to correct refractive errors. The flapless technique ensures precision and less disruption to corneal structure.
Yes. SILK is completely flapless there’s no need to create a corneal flap. Instead, the lenticule is extracted via a small incision, minimizing flap-related complications and preserving corneal integrity.
SILK accurately corrects myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. It’s a precision femtosecond-laser technique tailored to reshape the cornea for clear vision without eyewear.
Yes. SILK uses numbing eye drops to ensure a pain‑free experience during the procedure. The minimally invasive, flapless nature contributes to patient comfort throughout and after the surgery.
Patients often achieve clear vision within a day or two. The minimally invasive approach allows for rapid visual recovery, making it ideal for those with active lifestyles.
Recovery is swift most resume daily activities within one to two days. With no flap disruption and minimal incision, healing and stabilization of vision occur much faster with SILK.
Yes. SILK’s minimally invasive, flapless technique preserves corneal tissue and biomechanical strength, making it particularly suitable for those with thinner corneas who might not qualify for traditional LASIK.
The ELITA femtosecond laser delivers high precision in corneal reshaping. Over 95% of patients achieve 20/20 vision, demonstrating excellent accuracy and outcomes.
SILK utilizes the ELITA femtosecond laser, a highly advanced, bladeless laser system that enables precise lenticule creation within the cornea for accurate, flapless vision correction.
