What is SILK?
SILK (Smooth Incision Lenticular Keratomileusis) is performed at Perfect Vision using the Johnson & Johnson Vision ELITA platform. The lenticule extraction procedure uses a biconvex lenticule shape intended to provide a smooth optical surface. Candidacy depends on your refraction, corneal thickness and topography findings.

Every eye is different. The right procedure is the one that fits your cornea, your lens, your retina and the way you use your vision every day — not the one that is most advertised. Technology supports the decision; it never replaces the clinical evaluation.

“#SMILEforeyes First of all very grateful to Dr. Virendra Agarwal and his team for being so supportive and helpful at the critical stage of my life when my hand was fractured in an accident, it was quite arduous to perform surgery but still it was done very well. Opted the SMILE surgery (bladeless, painless, flapless, conducted using top notch technology) and within a month, I am back to the normal routine which is quite impressive. And even after surgery they take care of your eyes by doing follow ups. Not the solo in my family to gone through the SMILE via Dr. Virendra Agarwal and all have the same answer "It's perfect". I highly highly recommend Dr. Virendra Agarwal and his team.”
