You had excellent vision until the age of 30 - then you needed to use glasses for distance. You reached the age of 40 and found that you also needed bifocals for reading and distance. You and millions of Americans have most likely developed farsightedness (hyperopia). A new procedure, Conductive Keratoplasty (CK), is FDA approved as a safe, non-laser, non-cutting technique that can eliminate or eradicate your farsightedness.

Until recently, only nearsighted patients have had many different procedures available to them that could be used to correct their vision problems, such as LASIK, RK and PRK. Now, one of the first non-laser procedures for farsightedness, CK (Conductive Keratoplasty), has been developed to address the symptoms and problems of the farsighted patient.

CK is one of the first procedures designed specifically for the millions of people with hyperopia. Instead of a scalpel or a laser, CK uses a probe as thin as a strand of human hair to release radio-frequency energy, treating your farsightedness without cutting or removing tissue. CK reshapes the cornea by using a controlled release of radio-frequency energy to shrink the corneal tissue, steepening the cornea and changing the way the eye focuses light. The radio-frequency energy is applied in a circular pattern, causing a peripheral constriction and a relative central lengthening of the eye.

CK is a very quick procedure. Lasting only 3-5 minutes per eye. But is not always a permanent solution to your visual needs.
