Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) is FDA approved as a safe, non-laser, non-cutting technique that can eliminate or eradicate hyperopia (farsightedness).
Conductive Keratoplasty is one of the first procedures designed specifically for the millions of people with hyperopia. Instead of a scalpel or a laser, CK uses a probe as thin as a strand of human hair to release radio-frequency energy, treating farsightedness without cutting or removing tissue. CK reshapes the cornea by using a controlled release of radio-frequency energy to shrink the corneal tissue and change the way the eye focuses light. CK is performed using a topical anesthetic (eye drop) and there is minimal postoperative discomfort.
