Laser eye surgery from ADVANCE VISIONCARE
The CK Procedure
- Non-laser treatment, so it is minimally invasive
- Procedure takes 3 minutes
- Almost immediate results
CK is designed to treat your near vision using the controlled release of radio frequency energy to strengthen the cornea - this procedure does not use a laser or involve any cutting, therefore it is minimally invasive and very safe.
The Procedure
Following assessment, the CK procedure only takes a few minutes. Eye drops are applied to anaesthetize the eye after which radio waves are applied to the cornea.
Once finished, you should return to work or normal activities the next day. Vision generally begins improving after about a week.
As with other procedures, the level of improvement to your vision may not last indefinitely as presbyopia is progressive. Additional treatment may be necessary in the future.
CK treatment can also help patients with long-sightedness, or hyperopia.
Success
More than 150,000 CK treatments have been performed worldwide with a remarkable rate of success. Even with the best treatments there are some minor side effects to be aware of:
- Discomfort for 2/3 days
- Glare for up to 1 month
- Haloes for up to 1 month
- Over correction for a few weeks
- Dry eyes may occur for the first few days
Exemplary Technology
Advance VisionCare uses the ViewPoint® CK System from Refractec. The new LightTouch technique from Refractec reduces the compression to a minimum which produces more stable and predictable results.
