Tired of fumbling with glasses or struggling with contact lenses? Science has a solution - SILK and LASIK, two advanced procedures that can give you clear vision without daily eyewear.

SILK, or Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis, is a flapless laser surgery that removes a tiny, disc-shaped piece of tissue (called a lenticule) from your cornea. This precise correction adjusts your vision, reducing or even eliminating the need for glasses. According to Dr. Ikeda Lal, Senior Consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, the amount of tissue removed depends on your prescription, making the procedure highly personalised.

LASIK, the more traditional laser method, creates a flap in the cornea and reshapes it to correct refractive errors. Both procedures are quick, effective, and have high success rates, but choosing the right method depends on your eye health and lifestyle.

With these options, life without glasses is no longer a dream. However, consulting an experienced ophthalmologist is key to ensuring safe and successful results.
