NearVisionSM CK® for Presbyopia Patients in Raleigh / Durham Area
As people age, the lens of the eye loses flexibility, and, with it, the
ability to focus on near objects. That’s why most people begin to
rely on reading glasses after the age of 40. Dr. Dean Dornic offers a solution
for the condition, known as presbyopia, for our Raleigh / Durham patients.
NearVisionSM CK® (Conductive Keratoplasty®) uses radio frequency energy to adjust the shape of the cornea without cutting a corneal flap or removing any tissue from the eye, as is required in LASIK surgery. In most cases of presbyopia, our Raleigh / Durham patients have one eye treated, which is then used for near vision, and one eye left untreated, to retain good distance vision. The vision center of the brain soon learns to give preference to the appropriate eye for whichever range of vision is being used.
CK® for our Raleigh / Durham patients is administered using a wand tipped with a fiber thinner than a human hair. It is applied in a circular pattern to the outer edge of the cornea. The radio frequency energy produced by the fiber shrinks the tissue, steepening the cornea and changing its focus to bring near objects into clear view.
