Appleton / Green Bay CK Specialists – Alexander Eye Care
Serving Fond du Lac / Oshkosh Conductive Keratoplasty Patients

In order to help all of his patients realize their vision correction goals, Dr. Alexander offers a variety of refractive procedures, including conductive keratoplasty (CK). Over the years, he has treated numerous CK Appleton / Green Bay patients suffering from farsightedness and presbyopia. By carefully administering a predetermined amount of low energy radio waves to the cornea, Dr. Alexander helps patients enhance their vision while reducing their dependence on glasses. Read on to learn more about CK and the talented Appleton / Green Bay CK surgeon, Dr. Alexander.

Conductive Keratoplasty, CK, is a procedure that may be appropriate for individuals who have difficulty reading items up close; near vision is compromised when the natural lens ceases to function properly due to presbyopia. This condition is also possible when the cornea of the eye is too flat, an eye deformity known as Hyperopia.

CK reshapes the cornea, a transparent "coat" of the front of the eye through which the iris may be seen, to increase the curvature. This procedure is different from traditional LASIK in that it is accomplished with radiofrequency instead of the laser beam, administered through a probe. Improvements in vision generally begin a week following the procedure vs. immediately as found with LASIK procedures such as that at Alexander Eye Institute; UltraSight® (a bladeless all laser LASIK procedure). Additionally, CK results may not be permanent.

When you visit Alexander Eye Institute for your free consultation related to UltraSight® or PermaClear®, you can also ask about CK.
