corrective eye surgery

When people start to notice that they eyesight is “slipping” and things are not as clear, bright or sharp as they used to be, most folks take such changes pretty seriously and begin to seek out ways to help improve their vision. But many people, when faced with the idea of corrective eye surgery, are put off by the thought of something being somehow inserted into the eye, even if it means an ultimate improvement. The good news for such people is that conductive keratoplasty (CK) is an option for vision correction that is even less invasive than the better known forms of laser eye surgery.

CK is a fairly new kind of laser eye surgery in practice today. It utilizes a mild heat that is generated from radio waves. These waves are used to reduce the size of the connective tissues. These tissues are a glue-like collagen, found in the periphery of the cornea and which can cause vision distortions.
