How does CK work?
CK uses a pen-shaped instrument with a cool tip as thin as a human hair. After application of a topical anesthetic (eye drops), Dr. Manrique will apply radio frequency energy in a circular pattern. This pattern is along the periphery of the cornea and therefore minimizes interference with your line of sight. The procedure is done in our office. You’re here about ½ hour on surgery day. The CK treatment itself takes approximately five minutes. CK is considered painless. Once finished, you don’t have to wear a patch and can usually return to work the next day. Vision continues to improve over the course of the first week.
