What is SILK LASIK?

SILK LASIK stands for Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis, an advanced vision correction surgery

that uses the lowest laser energy currently available to create an exceptionally smooth

and precise incision — as gentle as silk.
Like SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), SILK LASIK is a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes the cornea through a tiny incision, reducing tissue damage while enhancing comfort, safety, and recovery speed.

1 μm Ultra-Fine Spot Low-Energy Pulse Technology

Using a laser spot as small as 1 micrometer, SILK LASIK allows for exceptionally precise corneal stromal cutting, enabling smoother lenticule removal.
By operating with the lowest laser energy among existing technologies, it minimizes heat generation and surrounding tissue damage, resulting in faster recovery and fewer side effects compared to conventional procedures.

Conventional Laser Spot
Using higher laser energy may cause damage to corneal nerves or surrounding tissues.

SILK Laser Spot
Uses lower laser energy to minimize damage to corneal nerves and surrounding tissues.

SILK LASIK forms the corneal lenticule beneath the lower layer compared to conventional lenticule-based surgery, which helps reduce damage to corneal nerves.
As a result, it significantly lowers the risk of postoperative dry-eye symptoms and enhances overall

comfort and recovery after surgery.

Visual Axis Alignment After Suction Fixation

• Precise correction aligned with the visual axis, which determines the quality of vision.
• 
  Customized surgery tailored to each patient’s visual axis for sharper and clearer eyesight.
• 
  Shorter operation time minimizes fatigue for both the surgeon and the patient.

By precisely aligning the center of the visual axis, SILK LASIK delivers the best possible visual outcomes with exceptional clarity and accuracy.

Astigmatic Axis Correction After Suction Fixation

Displays the pre-measured astigmatic axis in real time during surgery.
After suction fixation, the system automatically aligns and rotates according to the astigmatic axis before proceeding.
By minimizing axis deviation, SILK LASIK delivers clearer and more precise visual results.
