Reading Vision: FAQ - Vista Malaysia & Singapore

THE PROCEDURE

Conductive Keratoplasty or CK^® is a safe not invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, without the use of a laser to reshape the cornea. This treats low to moderate reading vision problems.

This procedure is developed specifically for the needs of patients over the age of 45 allowing patients (non-myopic) to end their frustration with reading glasses.

Patients with myopic cases may consider MONOVISION LASIK. CK^® is typically performed on just one eye, restoring near vision without compromising the patient's binocular distance vision.

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Although patients often feel some pressure sensation, the procedure is painless. CK is done in about 3-5 minutes.

CK is a 4-step Procedure

Numbing Drops
Topical anesthetic is applied with eyedrops to numb the eye and ensure a painless procedure.

Mapping
A circular treatment pattern is imprinted on the cornea using rinse-away ink to guide the doctor’s training.

Shrinking Collagen
Using a probe thinner than a strand of human hair, radio waves are applied in a circular pattern to shrink small areas of collagen in the cornea.

Increase Curvature
The circular treatment pattern acts like a belt tightening around the cornea, increasing its overall curvature to improve near vision.
