Clear vision occurs when a number
of factors combine to produce optical perfection: Light
entering the eye through a well-formed cornea focuses
precisely on the retina; the resulting image is sharp
and bright.
Emmetropia
(Normal Eye) is the term for an eye with perfect vision.
The light rays are focused directly on the retina. For

For many of us, however, clear
vision requires the corrective properties of glasses
or contacts. Here are three correctable conditions which
affect the vision of most people:
Nearsightedness
(Myopia) This is the most common refractive condition
and causes a visual focusing problem affecting nearly
25% of the population. [read

Farsightedness
(Hyperopia) manifests itself in a blurring of close
objects, such as the print in books or on musical scores.
In this instance light passing through a cornea that
is too flat, or an eye that is too short, focuses behind
the retina. [read more]
Astigmatism
is the term for an irregularly shaped cornea (somewhat
like a football), resulting in light rays focusing that
focus on more than one point on the retina. [read

Presbyopia
describes natural change that occurs in all eyes as
we age. CK is designed to allow useful reading vision
for those people with presbyopia.
