SAFE, AFFORDABLE LASIK with Dr. Silk

About Lasik

Each year millions of people safely undergo LASIK surgery. In fact, it is the most popular procedure to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism in the world. The reason for the popularity is because there is a very low surgical complication rate (between 1-5% according to the FDA).

The other reason is due to the fact that depending on how compliant they are with their recommended contact lens regimen- and their number of annual office visits and new fitting appointments- the average contact lens wearer invests $75-$100 a month on their eyes. So not only is LASIK more affordable than a lifetime of contact lenses but it is also much less maintenance.

LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a laser vision correction procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, or the clear covering of the front of the eye, by using an excimer laser. A laser is used to cut a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middle section of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced.

Healing for most patients is so fast that vision can improve within hours of the procedure, and many patients return to work the next day.

Testimonials

Dr. Silk performed my LASIK about a week and a half ago. I have been seeing him for my eye care for a few months now, leading up to my LASIK and he has been wonderful. He has a great bedside manner and is a true, honest professional. I would recommend him for LASIK and also for general ophthalmology any day.

From the beginning, Dr. Silk was extremely meticulous about explaining the details of the procedure, and the benefits and risks. His pricing was very clear (no hidden fees or office visit copays) and better than other eye centers in the area. I’d highly recommend Dr. Silk. He’s very professional, has a great staff, and puts a high priority on patient care and comfort.

I wore glasses for 17 years and I decided to have LASIK surgery because I wanted to enjoy outdoor activities with my family without the hassle of wearing contact lenses. Two weeks ago I had my LASIK done with Dr. Silk and I was extremely happy with my result. My eye vision is now 20/15. Dr. Silk exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Silk performed PRK on me and now I have perfect vision. He took time to thoroughly examine with pre-op and post-op appointments. He also explained everything in great detail and answered all of our questions. His office staff was kind and very helpful. Jessica was very communicative with us and was very flexible with making necessary changes. Thank you Dr. Silk!

Dr. Silk and his team have done a great job in my LASIK procedure. The whole process was smooth and professional. Dr. Silk himself went through all the inspections with me before and after the surgery. His knowledge about his patients enables him to customize the solution that works for each patient. Now I am two months after the procedure, and both of my eyes perform pretty well.
