Conductive keratoplasty (CK) is a non-invasive refractive surgery that uses radiofrequency energy to reshape the cornea and treat mild farsightedness (hyperopia). During the procedure, a probe is applied to the cornea, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy to the tissue, causing it to contract and reshape the cornea for improved focus.
CK is particularly effective for older adults who develop presbyopia or for those with mild hyperopia. The procedure is minimally invasive, with no cuts or incisions, and it requires a short recovery time.
Conductive keratoplasty offers a safe, effective solution for certain types of refractive errors, particularly in patients with specific eye conditions or age-related vision changes.
