Finding the Benefits of NearVision CK (Conductive Keratoplasty) for Hyperopia/Farsightedness
Most patient’s over 40 begin to lose the ability to read without the use of reading glasses. Many patients feel like reading glasses are “a weight around their neck”.
CK (Conductive Keratoplasty) helps to reduce the need for reading glasses for patients over the age of 40.
CK (Conductive Keratoplasty) is often referred to as NearVision CK. This is because the procedure improves the near vision in the non-dominant eye.
NearVision CK is done in the doctor’s office and requires only 5 minutes per eye. The procedure is minimally invasive and does not carry the risks of LASIK eye surgery. Patients can return to work and driving usually within 1 day.
Patients sometime ask, what’s the catch – a 5 minute procedure sounds too easy. Here is the rub, although NearVision CK improves a patient’s near vision immediately, the effect wears off as the eye continues to age. The treatment may need to be repeated every 3-5 years.
Healing is easy, there are relatively few complaints. Occasional patients might note during healing: slight irritation and glare from light sources at night.
