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 smal 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.
This circular shrinkage pattern creates a constrictive band
(like the tightening of a belt), increasing the overall
curvature of the cornea. The procedure, which takes less
than three minutes, is done in-office with only topical
anesthesia (eye drops).
