The Importance of Vision
Vision allows us to see and interpret the world around us using visual elements and indicators, transforming light and electrical impulse signals into visions and images. Vision can help navigate life, express feelings, and provide nonverbal communication. In some instances, vision can also protect from potential injuries.
CureBlindness.org is an organization dedicated to curing blindness by providing patients with life-changing surgeries and in some cases, access to a necessary cataract specialist or ophthalmologist.
Our LASIK Surgery Center's Dedication
At Silk Vision, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art surgeries and technologies that are sure to improve the quality of life for each of our patients.
Restoring Vision with LASIK
LASIK surgeons today utilize advanced laser beams to reshape parts of the cornea to restore vision as best as possible. In most instances, LASIK surgery only requires approximately 30 minutes from start to finish.
Collaborative Efforts
The collaboration between Silk Vision and CureBlindness.org is helping to accomplish the goal of both organizations, which is to end blindness and restore vision.
Transforming Lives: Success Stories
- Troy
Unfortunately, Troy was suffering from keratoconus, a disorder of the eye that causes the cornea to bulge forward, disrupting vision over time if it is not properly corrected. Symptoms of keratoconus can range from blurring of vision, increased sensitivity to light, worsening of vision, and in some cases, even double vision. With advanced LASIK surgery, Troy now has 20/20 vision and no longer has the risk of losing his sight.
- Chris
Chris is excited to have his vision back and no longer needs to wear glasses each day!
- Gary
Dr. Silk recently assisted a highly decorated retired Major General in the US Army with recovering his vision.
