Conductive Keratoplasty^SM

Conductive Keratoplasty^SM (CK) uses the controlled release of radiofrequency (RF) energy, instead of a laser, to reshape the cornea.

CK is performed using a small probe, thinner than a strand of human hair, that releases radiofrequency (RF) energy.

The probe is applied in a circular pattern on the outer cornea to shrink small areas of corneal tissue. This circular shrinkage pattern creates a constrictive band (like the tightening of a belt), increasing the overall curvature of the cornea.

The procedure, which takes less than three minutes, is done in-office with only topical anesthesia (eye drops). CK is the first alternative to laser for hyperopia.

Tired of reading glasses? - New radio wave technology provides an alternative

There are 60 million Americans with farsightedness. Farsightedness is most predominant among Baby Boomers, many of whom view reading glasses as a sign of aging. Symptoms of farsightedness include:

• the early need for reading glasses after age 40 and current bifocal use
• difficulty reading menus, computer screens, the alarm clock, or driving at night
• eye fatigue when reading in poor lighting or at the end of the day
• trouble changing focus from distance to near
• constantly repositioning reading material in an attempt to find the right focus

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) is the first non-laser procedure for farsightedness. CK uses the controlled release of radiofrequency (RF) energy, instead of a laser or scalpel to reshape the cornea.

Because CK is performed without the cutting or removal of tissue, it meets the needs of the risk-adverse patient who's been waiting for an alternative to Lasik for farsightedness.

For years, the farsighted patient has been left behind as vision correction procedures progressed: RK, PRK, and even LASIK initially were all treatments solely for the nearsighted. CK is one of the first procedures designed specifically for farsightedness.
