New Vision Clinics’ SILK™ laser procedure reshapes the cornea with advanced ELITA™ technology, offering precise, minimally invasive vision correction. Patients often see clear results quickly, guided by leading surgeon Prof. Noel Alpins AM.
SILK Eye Surgery Overview
People rely on their eyes for day-today activities and once-in-a-lifetime moments, so we want to treat them with the utmost care.
SILK™ eye surgery is an advanced keyhole laser treatment for eyesight that can help patients enjoy clear vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses. It offers a precise, minimally invasive approach designed for long-term visual freedom.
SILK™ uses one of the most precise femtosecond platforms and introduces a proprietary biconvex lenticule shape that’s designed to deliver a high quality of vision and improved corneal nerve protection for a healthier ocular surface.

Why Choose Us?
SILK creates a precise, lens-shaped lenticule inside the cornea. This lenticule is removed through a microscopic incision to reshape your cornea and correct your vision.
Unlike LASIK or PRK eye surgery, SILK eye surgery does not require a corneal flap so more of the eye’s natural structure and strength is preserved. Its biconvex lenticule design makes for sharp, high-quality vision while maintaining corneal nerve protection for a healthier ocular surface.
SILK is a highly effective choice for correcting short-sightedness as well as a laser eye surgery astigmatism treatment. Most patients notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours, enjoy a smooth recovery, and experience very little disruption to their daily routine.
ELITA™ is a generational leap in corneal refractive technology that leverages advanced technologies and features to elevate surgeon experience and patient outcomes:
Key Benefits
At NewVision Clinics, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you’re in experienced hands that are employing the latest techniques and using the best equipment.
Flapless means lower risk of complications compared to traditional LASIK.
Faster healing and reduced dry eye, thanks to less surface disruption.
Safe for active lifestyles, including contact sports and physical professions.
Quick results, with most patients enjoying clearer vision within 1–2 days.
The ELITA™ Laser uses the finest of laser pulses to gently create a small disc-shaped lens, called a lenticule, in the cornea after the eye is numbed.
The lenticule is delicately removed through a microscopic incision
With the removal of the lenticule the shape of the cornea is changed, correcting the patient’s vision.
The eye begins healing immediately, with most patients experiencing clearer vision and fast recovery within the first day.
The latest technology
With the SILK™ Procedure most patients experience outstanding vision from day one with fast visual recovery – but results can vary from patient to patient.

Most patients notice sharp vision within 24 hours. This will improve over the next few days and weeks.
SILK is flap-less lenticule extraction using the ELITA™ femtosecond laser with ultra-low energy pulses and a biconvex lenticule designed for smoother interfaces and better nerve protection—aiming for fast recovery and high visual quality.
SILK is indicated for adults (18+) with myopia (up to −12.00 D) and astigmatism (up to −6.00 D). It’s not suitable for conditions like keratoconus, corneal disease, unstable refraction, prior refractive surgery, and others; potential side effects include dry eye, glare/halos, and (rarely) serious complications—your surgeon will assess suitability.
