What Is CK Surgery?
CK, or Conductive Keratoplasty, is a new surgical procedure designed to help farsighted people over 40 eliminate their need for reading glasses. In CK, controlled radio frequency energy modifies the corneal tissue in order to alter the curvature of the cornea. This causes light rays from close-up objects to focus more accurately on the retina, thus compensating for extreme farsightedness.
