CONDUCTIVE KERATOPLASTY (CK)

More than 60 million Americans have difficulty reading menus and computer screens. Many find themselves constantly repositioning reading materials further away in order to improve focus.

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) is the only vision procedure specifically designed for patients over 40 for the temporary reduction of farsightedness. Introduced in 2002 after five years of successful clinical trials in the U.S. and abroad, Conductive Keratoplasty has proven to be a safe, effecive alternative to laser surgery.

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) can change how the eye focuses light by reshaping the cornea to treat farsightedness. It uses a controlled release of radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat and shrink cornal tissue which steepens the cornea. This steepening creates a safe and predictable modification which increases focusing power. Your opthalmologist will conduct a thorough eye exam and a computerized may of the curvature of your cornea to determine if you are a candidate for the CK procedure.
