DrSalz.com -Los Angeles LASIK Eye Surgeon performing the NearVision(SM) CK(R) procedure which modifies the topographical (surface) curvature of the cornea, making it temporarily steeper and improving near vision. In FDA clinical studies, 98% of patients were able to read newspaper-size print without reading glasses after the CK(R) procedure (12-month follow-up data).
NearVision(SM) CK(R) uses a pen-shaped instrument with a cool tip as thin as a human hair. After application of anesthetic eye drops, your doctor will apply radiofrequency (RF) energy in a circular pattern. This pattern is applied in the periphery of the cornea and therefore minimizes interference with your line of sight. A device called a "speculum" is inserted to hold your eye open during the procedure.
NearVision(SM) CK(R) is intended for people over the age of 40 who need reading glasses (clinically termed "presbyopia") and people with farsightedness (clinically termed "hyperopia"). CK(R) is not intended for people with nearsightedness (clinically termed "myopia"). All patients considering vision improvement should undergo a complete examination by a doctor prior to the procedure.
You're likely a good candidate for NearVision(SM) CK(R) if you:
* Are over age 40
* Had great vision your whole life
* Require reading glasses to compensate for fading near vision
