Good news for patients with myopia in India! The new SILK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis) procedure that uses the next-generation laser vision correction solution has been launched in India. It can correct the vision for patients with myopia, with or without astigmatism.
Johnson & Johnson Vision, a global leader in eye health and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, has introduced the new SILK procedure in India.
The SILK procedure provides surgeons with advanced technologies and designs to elevate surgical experiences and patient outcomes in correcting refractive errors, said Burzin Shahana, Country Manager, Surgical Vision India, Johnson & Johnson Vision.
Using the next-generation laser vision correction solution, the company aims to improve the standard of care for patients with myopia in the country, he added.
Benefits of SILK procedure
Myopia or nearsightedness is corrected with glasses, contact lenses or surgery in some cases (mostly for adults). Refractive surgery allows myopic patients to clearly see distant objects without glasses or contacts. The SILK procedure is the newest laser vision correction solution for patients with myopia from Johnson & Johnson Vision.
It is an easy procedure that involves creating a small disk-shaped lens, called a lenticule, in the cornea. Through a microscopic incision, the lenticule is delicately removed and the cornea is reshaped to help the patient see flawlessly.
