CK
(Conductive Keratoplasty)
Refractive
Surgery Treatment for:
-
Mild Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
-
Presbyopia (in normal sighted eyes and in patients
who are now normal sighted following
laser surgery years earlier but who are now Presbyopic).
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 steepens the central corneal
curvature.
Conductive Keratoplasty is the only FDA-approved procedure for the correction
of Presbyopia. .
NearVision
CK (Conductive Keratoplasy) 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 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 lessen,
and the procedure may need to be repeated to maintain best
reading vision.
