Advantages of SILK:

Shortly after approval, Johnson & Johnson spoke of a new, promising procedure that should make lenticel extraction even better.
The next few years will show whether this is the case in practice.
The general advantages of lenticel extraction are

  • Correcting myopia and astigmatism with a single procedure
  • Painless during and after the procedure
  • Gentle on tissue (without folding down the cornea – flap)
  • ELITA / femtolasers work very quickly and precisely
  • Lower risk with high efficiency
  • Minimal incision ensures rapid healing

Special advantages of the SILK procedure are said to result from the fact that a biconvex lens shape can be created.
This has the following advantages for patients:

  • Posterior and anterior corneal surfaces can be aligned without causing corneal curvature when removing the lenticule from the cornea
  • Better preservation of the stability of the cornea and accelerated regeneration, as fewer fibers are severed.

SILK treatment procedure with the ELITA laser

The treatment is basically the same as the other lenticule extractions, is painless and only takes a few minutes.

What distinguishes the ELITA laser from Johnson & Johnson?

The ELITA laser system from J&J is said to be able to create a smooth corneal surface and facilitate the removal of the lenticule thanks to very precise pulses and a high frequency.
This is according to an early press release from the company.

SILK risks & possible complications

Even though the SILK procedure is barely on the market, it can be deduced from the medical approval that it is safe and effective.
The initial study results were promising and – as is usual with lenticule extractions – very good optical results were achieved.
There are potential risks with any procedure.
However, most of them are temporary and can be treated:

  • Over- or undercorrection: follow-up treatment with Femto-, LASIK- or Trans-PRK possible.
  • Poor visibility in suboptimal lighting conditions (night and twilight)
  • Infection risks – are very low
  • Temporary foreign body sensation in the eye, signs of abrasion, tear formation at the incision
