SILK vs LASIK - which one is better?

In an engaging conversation with Mehul Tak, host at Brut India, Dr. Rahil Chaudhary traced the fascinating journey of laser vision correction — from the early days of LASIK to the revolutionary SILK flapless technology.
Dr. Rahil explained how LASIK, once a breakthrough, involved creating a thin flap on the cornea to reshape vision. While simple and effective, it carried a limitation: if the eye suffered a sudden impact (like from a ball or accidental injury), the flap could shift, leading to complications and a longer recovery.
With the advent of SILK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis), this drawback has been overcome. Unlike LASIK, SILK does not require creating a flap. Instead, the laser carves out a tiny disc of corneal tissue inside the eye, which is then gently removed — permanently correcting the refractive error. This makes the procedure safer, faster to heal, and highly advanced.
Drawing an analogy, Dr. Rahil compared LASIK and SILK to the difference between a Maruti and a Mercedes — both get you to the destination, but the experience and quality differ significantly.
