LASIK Surgery

LASIK corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea using advanced laser technology. At Silk Vision, we employ the Contoura Vision system for personalized treatment, ensuring 98% of patients achieve 20/20 vision. Our bladeless LASIK, using WaveLight EX500 lasers, guarantees precision and quick recovery, making it ideal for active lifestyles.

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular lenses. We offer laser-assisted techniques for minimal invasiveness, rapid healing, and exceptional outcomes. Patients regain clarity without dependence on glasses, benefiting from our surgeons 25,000+ procedures and specialization in complex cases like Fuchs Dystrophy.

EVO ICL

EVO ICL addresses severe myopia by implanting a biocompatible lens inside the eye. This reversible procedure suits patients ineligible for LASIK, offering UV protection and instant vision improvement. With no corneal removal, recovery is swift, and 100% of patients in testimonials report life-changing results.

PRK

PRK reshapes the corneas surface without creating a flap, ideal for thin corneas or active professionals. Silk Vision uses topography-guided lasers for precision, ensuring 20/20 vision with minimal haze. Though recovery takes longer than LASIK, its preferred for military personnel and athletes due to reduced flap risks.

Refractive Lens Exchange

Refractive Lens Exchange replaces the natural lens with a multifocal or toric implant to correct presbyopia or high refractive errors. This procedure prevents future cataracts and eliminates dependency on glasses, providing a permanent solution for patients over 40 seeking freedom from contacts or bifocals.

I would very highly recommend Dr. Silk and his Vision & Surgical Center. A 6 star rating. Both cataract surgeries went perfect, one of them involving a toric lens. The whole experience was as perfect as it could have possibly been.

I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Silk. From my first meeting, I found him to be exceptionally thorough in his explanation of the procedure as well as addressing issues Ive had in the past due to chronically dry eyes.

Additionally, his staff are warm and responsive which is not always the norm in a busy practice. It is a pleasure to give Dr.Silk and his practice the
