PRESBYOPIA
Presbyopia is a condition of physiological insufficiency of
accommodation leading to a progressive fall in near vision.
Gradual decrease in amplitude of accommodation as expected
with age.
1.3 billion world wide.
The onset is usually anticipated by age 40 years or when
amplitude of accommodation tends to drop below 5.00D.
Loss of functional vision :in 40's.
Complete loss of accomodation in 50-60 years.
Need to increase the distance between the objects and the eye.
Distant vision remains unchanged.

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) is a noninvasive
procedure which utilizes radiofrequency
energy to correct presbyopia and low
hyperopia with or without astigmatism. It can
also be used to correct residual refractive error
after laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or
cataract surgery.
