Why doesn CK eye treatment need a laser?
Laser eye correction works by vapourizing and so removing tissue, reshaping the cornea to provide a new focus. Laser treatment works best for shortsight, for which it was originally developed. CK reshapes the front of the eye by an entirely different method: the application of low-level radiofrequency (RF) energy to specific spots around the edge of the cornea. This causes peripheral collagen to shrink and contract, like a belt being tightened, steepening the central cornea into a new focus.
