After the age of 40 years, the capacity of the eye to
focus on near objects starts decreasing and keeps decreasing
with advancing age. Hence every 4-5 years after the age
of 40 we have to go for a change of near vision glasses.
A person who did not have any power till 40 ends up with
a +3 number by the time he becomes 55 years. This condition
is called PRESBYOPIA.
NearVision CK (Conductive Keratoplasty®) can change
how the eye focuses light by reshaping the cornea to improve
near vision. It uses a controlled release of radiofrequency
(RF) energy to shrink corneal tissue, which steepens the
cornea. This steepening creates a safe and predictable modification
to the topographical (surface) curvature of the cornea for
the temporary reduction of presbyopic and hyperopic symptoms.
Did you know?
Conductive Keratoplasty isn't the only use of radiofrequency
(RF) energy in medicine. Doctors have been safely using
this technology in surgery since the 1950s
