A Revolutionary Conductive Keratoplasty (CK), a FDA approved procedure, is the answer to Reading Glasses. It’s a non-laser three-minute technique, which uses nothing more than Radio Frequency energy (RF) no lasers or cutting and involves changing the shape of Cornea to allow patients to see up-close without Glasses. It is a painless out patient procedure that helps recover near vision in presbyopes. With CK, you can “turn back the hands of the clock” and reduce your dependency on Reading Glasses for another 6 to 8 years.

You’re a CK candidate:

• If you are over 40 years of age.
• Tired of Reading Glasses.
• Have difficulty focusing on things, which are near.
• Have had good distance vision most of your life.
• Have no health issues affecting your eyes.
• Want to hide your age, as Reading Glasses are evidence that you are above 40 years of age.
• Eyes aches while reading in poor light or as the day ends

Advantages of CK:

• No cutting - helps minimize side effects and endures speedy recovery
• Safe - the only FDA Approved Technology used to improve near vision in those over 40 years of age.
• Fast and easy — takes only 3 to 5 minutes and is virtually painless.
• No lasers or blades are used during procedure.
• No tissue is removed
• Minimally invasive
• Considered an extremely safe medical procedure

The Procedure :

Instead of using a laser, CK is per-formed with a probe which is thinner than the strand of human hair. Radiowaves are applied in a circular pattern to shrink a small area of cillagen in the cornea.This customized instrument emits and controls Radio Frequency energy (RF) into the eye, producing heat that makes the cornea steeper. A treatment pattern is mapped out on the eye with eight to thirtytwo treatment points. RF is then distributed to each point through the Keratoplast tip, changing the shape of the cornea. ViewPoint CK System applies radio waves in a circular pattern on the outer cornea to shrink small areas of collagen. This shrinking pattern creates a constrictive band (like the tightening of a belt) increasing the overall curvature of the cornea to bring near vision back into focus. It uses a probe with a Micro thin (90µ diameter) single use KERATOPLAST tip for delivering Radio Frequency energy directly to the corneal stroma. The result of this changes the way the cornea directs light to the rest of the eye.

Technology:

New World iCare uses the very latest technology for the Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) procedure. CK System from Refractec is used and is the first FDA Approved Refractive Technology for improving the loss of near vision that accompanies presbyopia. The new LightTouch technique from Refractec reduces the compression to a minimum, which produces more stable and predictable results.

The NearVision CK treatment has one of the highest safety profiles in the refractive market thanks to the use of radio waves, instead of a laser or scalpel, that gently change the shape of the cornea to improve vision.

CK takes about 3 to 5 minutes per eye. The procedure is relatively painless and involves no cutting. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in their vision after CK, like the ability to clearly see the face of their watch or to read a newspaper.
