One of the latest refractive surgery procedures to become available is conductive keratoplasty (CK). This technique harnesses the power of radio waves to reduce the need for reading glasses. Whether one has hyperopia (farsightedness) or presbyopia (age-related farsightedness), CK may be the most effective treatment for qualifying candidates.
NearVision CK®
Brian M. Brown, M.D., uses the NearVision CK® system at his ophthalmology practice in Downey, California. The primary benefit of NearVision CK® is improved vision close-up, but for patients the procedure is also:
The actual NearVision CK® procedure entails using radio waves to precisely heat and shrink tiny sections of corneal tissue. The refractive surgeon applies the radio waves in a circular pattern around the outside of the cornea. This makes the surface of the cornea more convex, which helps farsighted patients focus better on nearby objects.
