How Does CK Compare to Laser
Correction?
Because it is minimally invasive, the procedure has
very few surgical complications. More than 400 procedures
were performed in the official FDA studies in to the
effectiveness and safety of CK, prior to its formal
approval in April 2002. No patient had a serious
complication or had best corrected vision below the
driving standard. It is because of this high safety
profile that many patients in the 40-70 age group, typically
more conservative than the younger laser vision correction
patients, are comfortable coming forward to have CK.
These patients like CK because a) there is no blade
used, b) no laser is needed, c) no tissue is removed,
and d) the important central corneal line of sight isn't
touched.

CK
is now being used to quickly and safely correct astigmatism
in a glasses prescription or if caused by LASIK, PRK,
cataract surgery or corneal grafting. Studies will shortly
be underway to evaluate CK in the treatment of keratoconus.
