CK (Conductive Keratoplasty) |
Did you have excellent vision until you needed distance glasses at 30? Did you turn 40 and find that you needed bifocals? If so, you may be among the millions of Americans who have presbyopia or hyperopia (farsightedness). Presbyopia is a natural change in our eyes' ability to focus. It occurs when the crystalline lens of the eye loses its flexibility, causing objects to appear blurry.
Conductive Keratoplasty or CK is a safe, non-laser, non-cutting technique approved by the FDA to reduce or eliminate presbyopia or hyperopia. Instead of a scalpel or a laser, NearVision CK releases radiofrequency (RF) energy through a probe as thin as a strand of human hair, treating your vision condition without cutting or removing tissue. The controlled release of RF energy in a circular pattern shrinks tissue in the cornea to reshape it, improving the way the eye focuses light.
You're likely a good candidate for NearVision Ck if you:
- Are over age 40
- Had great vision you whole life
- Require reading glasses to compensate for fading near vision
NearVision CK was the first FDA-approved method for treating hyperopia. It is safer and less invasive than the LASIK procedure and avoids the complications associated with LASIK treatment such as dry eyes, hazy vision, light sensitivity or poor quality of vision. In just three minutes, Dr. Cutler can perform CK in his office using only a topical anesthetic. Post-operative discomfort is minimal and vision improves almost immediately. Call today to schedule your Free consultation and find out if you are a candidate for CK.
