End your frustration with reading glasses.
NearVisionSM CK® can help improve your vision. A safe, non-invasive procedure for improving your near vision, it allows you to see clearly like you could 10 years ago. It’s an exciting new advancement in vision correction because it uses radio waves instead of a laser to treat your vision problem.
- No cutting—helps minimize side effects and speed recovery
- Convenient and safe—your doctor performs the procedure in his or her office
- Fast and easy—takes only three to five minutes—and is virtually painless
Are you a candidate for NearVisionSM CK®?
- Are you over 40 years of age?
- Have you had great distance vision without glasses for most of your life?
- Are you tired of your reading glasses?
If you answered yes to these three questions, you may be a candidate for NearVisionSM CK®.
How NearVisionSM CK® is performed
NearVisionSM CK® uses radio waves, instead of a laser or scalpel, to reshape the cornea and bring near vision back into focus. NearVisionSM CK® is performed using a small probe, thinner than a strand of human hair, that releases radio waves. The probe is applied in a circular pattern on the outer cornea to shrink small areas of collagen. This circular shrinkage pattern creates a constrictive band—like the tightening of a belt—increasing the overall curvature of the cornea. The procedure, which takes less than three minutes, is done in-office with only topical anesthesia (eye drops).
Take the next step toward freedom from reading glasses
NearVisionSM CK® improves your ability to focus on near objects without reading glasses. In the clinical study for NearVisionSM CK®, nine out of 10 patients could see 20/20 or better in the distance, and could read newspaper-sized print after the procedure without glasses.
If you are interested in the NearVisionSM CK® procedure, talk to your doctor and get a full eye examination. He or she will determine your specific vision needs and treatment plan, and establish if NearVisionSM CK® is the right procedure for you.
