NearVision CK uses radio
waves,
instead of a laser or scalpel, to reshape the cornea and
bring near vision back into focus. NearVision CK is performed
using a small probe, thinner than a strand of human hair,
that releases radio waves. The probe is applied in a circular
pattern on the outer cornea to shrink small areas of collagen
thus flattening this portion of the cornea. This circular
shrinkage pattern creates a constrictive band (like the
tightening of a belt), increasing the overall central curvature
of the cornea and thus adding useful reading vision. The
procedure, which takes less than three minutes, is done
in-office with only topical anesthesia (eye drops), and
is typically only done on one eye.
