How does NearVision CK differ from Fyodorovs techniques?
Fyodorov used a thermokeratoplasty technique involving the insertion of a hot wire into the cornea. CK uses a cool tip that is inserted into the cornea. The tip then emits radiofrequency (RF) energy into the eye. It is the tissue’s resistance to the RF energy that induces the increase in temperature. With CK, the tip of the probe never gets hot. The results are more permanent than with Fyodorov’s original thermokeratoplasty techniques.
