First
and Only FDA Approved Technology for Presbyopic Patients
Pioneered in Cincinnati Ohio by Halpin - Poweleit Eye
Center
The ViewPointT CK System, used by to perform CK, is the
first and only FDA-approved refractive technology for improving
the loss of near vision that accompanies presbyopia.

Conductive
Keratoplasty, performed at Halpin - Poweleit Eye Center
in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, has one of the
highest safety profiles in the refractive market thanks
to the use of controlled radio waves, instead of a
laser or scalpel, that gently change the shape of
the cornea to improve vision. |

For
the risk-averse, conductive keratoplasty is the procedure
of choice. When people over age 40 were asked if they would
consider an elective procedure to reduce their dependence
on glasses, a full 42 percent ranked CK their number-one
choice, citing its non-invasive method and safety as the
primary reasons for their preference. Prior to CK, few people
between the ages of 40 to 60 have even considered vision
treatment surgery, as they tend to be more conservative
and risk-averse than their younger counterparts.
Main Complications:
Fluctuation in vision (only temporary)
Under-correction (corrected with enhancement)
Over-correction (rare, may require temporary
glasses)
Sensitivity to light (temporary during first
month) |
