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."

"I had cataract surgery in both eyes done at Silk vision and this was life changing. Every aspect of the procedure was done right. I was told what to expect, got instructions for pre-op and post-op, and had two post op appointments to check if all is well. As far as medical procedures go this was perhaps the best of all. I recommend Dr Silk clinic highly." 

"I got EVO ICL done yesterday and Dr. Silk and his staff were wonderful. I was extremely nervous but they put me at ease and the results were instant. I didn't have any pain or discomfort and so far my recovery has been great. I went in for my 1 day post op today and my eyes could not be feeling any better. I highly recommend to people who is looking to get 20/20 vision and aren't a candidate for lasik like myself."

"I started wearing glasses since I was 8 years old. Since then, my vision deteriorated until I was in my twenties. I couldn’t even see anything, not even something half a foot in front of me. My vision was bad. I heavily relied on glasses and contacts. Even with vision insurance, I would have to pay so much money for glasses with the extra thin lenses or the expensive contact lenses since most manufacturers did not make contacts with my prescription. When I was 22, I went to a LASIK consultation and they informed me that my vision was too high and that I was not eligible for LASIK. However, to check back in a couple years as technology improves. I went back about 7 years later and was told the exact same thing. About a year ago, one of my coworkers got LASIK done and she just raved about it. She gave me Dr.Silk’s contact information but I was hesitant to make my initial consultation. After being turned down twice for LASIK, I didn’t have high hopes for this time around. I finally made the appointment and traveled from Maryland to Virginia to see Dr. Silk. Based off my cornea and prescription, I was once again not eligible to LASIK. But, I would be a candidate for ICL surgery.

I went back to do some pre-op eye measurements. I got my surgery appointment with all of the necessary information and drugs ahead of time. By the time surgery rolled around, I wasn’t even nervous. I was excited to be able to finally see without any contacts or glasses. The surgery process was smooth. Dr. Silk was wonderful, calm, and professional. He would tell me what he was doing and what was going to happen next. The nurses in the operating room had amazing bed side manners and made sure that I was comfortable the whole entire time. I never felt uneasy or uncomfortable before or during the surgery. The surgery lasted about an hour and for the first time in 27 years, I was able to see the world without a lenses. As with ICL surgery, my vision was a hazy at first. But I could still see better than before my surgery. The next morning, I woke up and I could immediately see around my bedroom. It felt surreal. Dr. Silk made it happen. Thank you."

"Dr. Silk performed cataract surgery on my husband and on me in the past and my vision is perfect, as is my husband's. Dr. Silk was amazing, is held in high regard and I wouldn't trust anyone else with this important surgical procedure. All went well for both us in our healing. I am grateful to Dr. Silk for his expertise, his bedside manner and for the follow up care."

"I’ve spent my whole life wearing glasses. Many times crying at the frustration of wearing the glasses. Pressure sores were common on my nose which were painful. Contacts were extremely difficult for doctors to fit to my eyes it seemed. Basic things like showering was extremely challenging because I couldn’t see the writing on the bottles.  Dr. Silk changed my life. I received LASIK in February 2023. It’s now Aug 2023. He gave me better vision than I could have ever imagined!! Thank you for changing my life!! The whole team was excellent. They educated me and were kind with every visit."

"I received PRK from Dr. Silk less than a year ago and I was completely satisfied with the results. 20/20 in both eyes and there was always a quick response time from him and his team whenever I had any questions/concerns. No joke, I went to 7 different consultations around the NOVA area and chose Dr. Silk because he had the best bedside manner, provided free touch ups in case if I was not satisfied after the surgery, and got me in contact with a former PRK patient so I can ask him questions on his personal experience. I would give more than 5 stars if I had the chance and if I know any friends or family who is interested in receiving PRK or LASIK, I will send them to this office. Thank you again!"

Very happy with my results! Staff is very sweet and very responsive! Doctor enjoys what he does is very informative and loves seeing his patients happy! Get LASIK with Dr.Silk!

Dr. Silk and his team were very thorough, responsive, and helpful with setting up the procedure and walking me through it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get Lasik!

My sister did her LASIK here in January. I booked and got mine yesterday. I cannot say how satisfied I am with the whole process. Very quick and smooth scheduling. Jason helped me book and broke down the financial aspect of the procedure. He gave me so many snacks and was super kind. Kelly and Kami were inside the treatment helping the doctor. They are such sweethearts and helped relieve the anxiety I had about the procedure. Dr. Silk himself is highly professional and has amazing bedside manner. On my first visit he did extensive proper testing to ensure I’m a good candidate, it put me at ease knowing I wasn’t rushed and that he ease taking the proper steps to make sure I’m a good candidate while answering all questions. The treatment itself was no longer than 20 mins. My favourite part was that Dr. Silk was speaking to me throughout the procedure. He was repeating the words “you’re doing good” “all looks good” “we’re almost done” and I really appreciate that because I’m the type of person who needs verbal reassurance and it helped me tremendously. Aftercare was so smooth. No pain or issues at all. I’m following proper care and couldn’t be happier with my whole experience with Dr. Silk and his amazing staff! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Silks clinic for lasik!

"I don’t think I could be happier about my LASIK surgery with Dr. Silk. He is very informative and answers any questions or concerns that you have regarding your eyes and the LASIK procedure. I was very nervous about the surgery beforehand, but during the actual treatment Dr. Silk and the assistant kept me very calm and used really encouraging words, just telling me how well I was doing and exactly what steps were next. It was very hazy afterwards and there was some discomfort, but after sleeping for like 6 hours after the surgery, I woke up and had a huge smile on my face because I could see! Amazing results, I am very happy because I was very nearsighted. Make sure you take the prescribed drops and artificial tears, sometimes my eyes can get pretty dry. I am very satisfied! Thank you Silk Vision!"

"Dr. Silk and his fine staff have been treating me for several years and I have always been exceptionally pleased with the care and attention I’ve received. Recently, Dr. Silk performed cataract surgery on both my eyes (two weeks apart) and the results are thrilling! My eyes are still healing, but the improvement in my vision is nothing short of astounding. I can see well at all distances, no longer need to use a magnifying glass and reading glasses to see my computer, read, or pay my bills. My depth perception is normal. I can drive and clearly read all types of signs that are far away. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Thank you, Dr. Silk, for giving me back my life."

"Dr. Silk performed my LASIK surgery a few weeks ago and since then I have been seeing 20/20 (or better) without glasses or contacts for the first time in over 20 years. Dr. Silk was very thorough with all the initial testing, provided a detailed explanation of the procedure (from beginning to end), and provided excellent after-care ensuring to answer all my questions (I had a lot). It is easy to get nervous, after all, it is your vision, but Dr. Silk’s professionalism and confidence in the procedure put me at ease. It is also nice to know that Dr. Silk continues to care for his own patients after the LASIK procedure rather than referring them elsewhere. It’s also worth noting that the office is clean and the staff is polite and receptive. I’m so excited to be seeing this well and couldn’t be happier with the overall experience."

"I recently completed a cross-linking course of treatment as a study participant under Dr. Silk’s care. The treatment itself was exactly as expected from my own research and made a definite improvement in the vision of the affected eye. Dr. Silk and his staff are very helpful and professional. The cross-linking procedure for my Keratoconus has given me options for further corrective eye procedures that were not previously recommended for my situation. I recommend Dr. Silk’s office to anyone looking to do cross-linking in the future. "

"I'm so happy about my surgery. I've always worn glasses since I was a child. After being referred to Dr. Silk, he offered me the option of ICL surgery. I couldn't believe that after being almost blind, I could see 20/20 without glasses. It's been a very exciting time for me and my family. It's truly been a wonderful change; the care from the entire team is excellent. May God continue to bless you greatly so that you can change lives like mine."

"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. He examined my eyes thoroughly before the LASIK procedure. He took his time to explain what I was to expect before, during and after the procedures. I was able to see clearly after a post-surgery nap. The next day, I found my eye vision to be perfect and I no longer need glasses or contact lenses anymore. The receptionist at his office is also very nice, polite and helpful. I am so glad that I had this surgery and that I chose Dr. Silk. Thank you, Dr. Silk and your staff; I recommend Dr. Silk to anyone interested in LASIK. "

"I had a quick timeline because I was visiting from Mexico. Dr. Silk arranged for my surgery to be done quickly to accommodate my schedule. The whole team was amazing. No more glasses for me now that I have new multifocal lenses. Highly recommend."

"I was having trouble wearing contacts because of my dry eyes and didn’t want to wear glasses anymore. At this point I decided to have LASIK surgery. Dr. Silk helped treat my dry eyes first and then I had my LASIK surgery. My vision is great and I’m ecstatic with the results. I’m 20/20 and no longer have to worry about putting in contacts or wearing glasses. Dr. Silk really took his time and did a great job. I tell all my friends who are thinking about LASIK to definitely go visit Dr. Silk."

"I had cataract surgery six weeks ago by Dr. Silk, and couldn’t be happier. I was very nervous prior to the procedure, the thought of someone getting near my eye with a knife was not comfortable, but Dr. Silk went over the entire process, including what I would or would not see and feel. That helped a great deal, and the surgery was a breeze. Really. I was very comfortable; there was no pain and Dr. Silk told me during the procedure what he was going to do and what sensation I would be feeling. I’m exceptionally pleased with my vision now as it’s clear and bright and crisp in the eye that had the cataract. Very easy healing process; the post-op instructions were easy to understand. I’d recommend Dr. Silk to anyone. Thanks for a no-stress experience!"

"I was referred to Silk Vision for vision loss from Fuchs Dystrophy. Dr. Silk restored my sight with DMEK transplants in both eyes. The results were incredible — clear vision without glasses and no pain at all. Dr. Silk’s skill and the caring, competent staff made all the difference. Highly recommend Silk Vision!"

"I recently had LASIK surgery with Dr. Silk as my surgeon. I can’t recommend him enough! I had lots of questions (after all, you only get two eyeballs and they don’t grow back) but he answered them all. Both his pre-surgical and after-care are very meticulous and professional. Two other LASIK centers had evaluated me for surgery (one for, one against) when I came to Dr. Silk. It was his thoroughness and insistence on details that led me to trust my eyes and vision to him, and I couldn’t be happier. "

"I was diagnosed with cataracts that left me virtually blind this past July. I am only 26 and this was a complete shock as I had perfect vision until a few months before. Dr. Silk was able to get me in for cataract surgery by mid-September. I chose a multifocal lens which helps preserve more visual function than a traditional lens and would allow me to continue with medical school to graduate on time. He and his staff were great at accommodating my busy schedule as well as going over the various options for lens implants, costs and financing options to get me what I needed. I would highly recommend him."
