Johnson & Johnson Vision launches SILK procedure performed with next generation laser vision correction solution in India

Dr. Mahipal Sachdev from Center For Sight, Dr. Rohit Shetty from Narayana Nethralaya, Dr. Noshir/Rushad Shroff from Shroff Eye Center, and Dr. Ajay Sharma from Eye-Q Hospital participated in a limited market release to introduce the new SILK procedure to India.

Refractive surgery can correct myopia, allowing patients to clearly see distant objects without glasses or contacts, and the SILK procedure is the newest innovation to help patients achieve excellent vision. The procedure is easy, performed using the next-generation laser vision correction solution that gently creates a small disk-shaped lens, called a lenticule, in the cornea. The lenticule is delicately removed through a microscopic incision, and the cornea is reshaped to help patients see flawlessly.

Based on study findings, patients who had the SILK procedure cited quick recovery and high satisfaction with their results. Notable findings include:

• 99% of patients were satisfied with the results of their SILK procedure.
• 98% of patients were satisfied with how quickly their vision improved.
• 96% of patients would recommend SILK to a friend or family member.
