Dr. Shreyas Ramamurthy, Managing Director, The Eye Foundation Group of Eye Hospitals, said, “It is our immense pleasure to announce the launch of a revolutionary advancement in eye care — the SILK technology from Johnson & Johnson, now available at our Vadapalani Centre in Chennai. This marks the first installation of the SILK technology in Tamil Nadu and only the fourth in India. SILK offers a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive solution for correcting myopia, astigmatism, and other refractive errors by precisely reshaping the cornea.”
“What sets this technology apart is the speed and comfort of recovery — patients can return to normal activities the very next day, with virtually no dry eye symptoms commonly associated with other laser procedures. Most importantly, SILK preserves the structural integrity of the cornea better than previous methods, greatly reducing the risk of regression or corneal weakening. We are proud to bring this cutting-edge solution to Tamil Nadu, reinforcing our commitment to offering world-class eye care”, Dr. Shreyas further added.
