Put Away Your Reading Glasses

While LASIK and other eye surgeries have long been available for correcting nearsightedness and farsightedness, they are not suitable for treating presbyopia (the condition that makes reading difficult for middle agers). Recently, the FDA approved a new, minimally invasive devise to correct (at least, temporarily) the stiffening of the eye lens that results in presbyopia. The new procedure, know as conductive keratoplasty (CK), involves anesthetizing the eye with drops and applying radio frequency radiation in a circular pattern to the non-dominant eye. The result is monovision, in which one eye sees better close up and the other retains it distance vision.

At NeoVision Eye Center, we look forward to helping you understand your needs and providing information so you may make an informed decision regarding vision correction. Let us help you “see beyond your imagination” with state-of-art Lasik surgery http://www.neovisioneyecenter.com/laservision_correction.html. Our courteous staff is professional and well trained. Please call us to schedule your next eye examination. We are happy to answer all your questions and we will work with you to find the most convenient appointment. We possess high personal and professional standards, impeccable integrity, and exceptional knowledge in all facets of eye care.

P.S When eyes are treated for monovision, the brain learns to adapt to the disparity and allows the patient to see both in the distance and up close without any hindrance.
