NearVision CK can help improve your vision, allowing
you to see clearly like you could 10 years ago. It’s
an exciting new advancement in vision correction
because ituses 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 3 to 5 minutes and is virtually
painless

How NearVision
CK works |
|
| |
NearVision CK can change how the eye focuses light
by reshaping the surface of your eye (cornea). When
the shape is changed, light can be refocused on the
correct part of your eye (retina). To produce this
reshaping, NearVision CK uses the controlled release
of radio waves to heat and shrink corneal tissue.
This steepens the cornea and allows light to
properly focus on the retina again. |

What to expect
during a NearVision CK procedure |
|
| |
Once your doctor
has determined that you are a candidate for
NearVision CK, your eye will be photographed to
determine its current and individual shape. This
will be used to plan the procedure and measure
results. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
What to expect
before and after a NearVision CK procedure |
|
| |
Before the
procedure, the only requirements are to not wear
makeup and arrange for transportation to and from
your doctor’s office. The procedure itself is fast
and simple, and will take just a few minutes to
perform.
After the procedure, and as with other vision
correction procedures, you may experience some eye
discomfort and light sensitivity for a few days.
Your doctor will recommend that you apply eye drops
for a few days after the procedure. Ask your doctor
or ophthalmic technician for more information. |

Are you a
candidate for a NearVision CK? |
|
| |
Are you over 45
years of age? |
|
| |
Have you had
the 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 NearVision CK. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
You may not be
a candidate for NearVision CK if: |
|
| |
- You have had
significant changes in your vision over the past
year
- You have any
chronic eye disorders
- You are
pregnant or nursing
- You have a
chronic illness or disease

Take the next
step toward freedom from reading glasses |
|

NearVision CK
improves your ability to focus on near objects
without reading glasses. In the clinical study for
NearVision CK, 9 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 NearVision 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 NearVision CK is
the right procedure for you. |

Are you having
trouble reading up close? |
|
| |
It seems to happen
overnight. You suddenly can’t read a menu, see your
alarm clock or review the scores on your gold card.
But, you’re not alone. Millions of baby boomers like
you are losing their near vision as part of the
natural aging process. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Why vision loss
with age? |
|
| |
When we turn 40,
our eyes begin losing their ability to focus on near
objects. This can be the result of two different
conditions: |
|
| |
Farsightedness (hyperopia):
When the surface of the eye (cornea) is too flat,
changing the way our eyes focus light. Young eyes
are often strong enough to compensate, which is why
it may only be a problem after 40.
Presbyopia: When the lens in the eye loses
flexibility because of age. This also causes
problems in the way our eyes focus light. Everybody
over age 45 will eventually suffer from this
condition. |
