In September, Eye-Q, a hospital eye care chain, introduced the cutting-edge ELITA SILK Procedure, a technology by Johnson & Johnson, at its flagship eye-care facility. The introduction of the procedure marks a major milestone in the field of ophthalmology, offering the revolutionary “No Flap Procedure” with a micro-incision of a mere 2mm.
This advanced technology is specifically tailored for individuals with high power prescriptions, aiming to free the 18-35 age group from the reliance on eyeglasses. One of the striking advantages of SILK technology is the swiftness of recovery it offers. While traditional LASIK procedures require approximately one week for a full recovery, SILK technology ensures a remarkably swift recuperation, with just one day being sufficient. This not only makes the process safer but also significantly reduces downtime for patients.
With SILK technology, we aim to empower individuals to break free from the constraints of spectacles faster and safer than ever before. But beyond this facility, our journey continues

We are committed to expanding the reach of SILK technology, making world-class eye care accessible to more regions across the country. This is our promise, and this is our legacy in the making.” stated Dr. Ajay Sharma, Founder and CMD of Eye-Q.
