Nearvision
CK
(Conductive Keratoplasty is capable of correcting low amounts of
farsightedness
(Hyperopia) or Presbyopia. The procedure is very safe and easy to perform.
CK consists of applying a special probe with a very fine, short tip.
The tip is typically
applied to 8 spots on the peripheral cornea, delivering a less than
one second burst
of radio frequency energy to the eye which steepness the central corneal
curvature.
Conductive
Keratoplasty is the only FDA-approved procedure for the correction
of presbyopia.
NearVision
CK
(Conductive Keratoplasty) can change how the eye focuses light by
reshaping
the cornea to improve near vision. It uses a controlled release of radiofrequency
(RF) energy to shrink corneal tissue, which steepens the cornea. This
steepening
creates a safe and predictable modification to the topographical (surface)
curvature
of the cornea for the temporary reduction of Presbyopic and mild hyperopic
symptoms.
CK(R) is usually performed on only one eye and is designed to reduce
the dependence
on reading glasses. As the patient ages, the effect of the CK can become less
and the procedure may need to be repeated to maintain best reading vision.
