What is Conductive Keratoplasty?

Conductive Keratoplasty is a type of Vision Correction that uses radio waves, instead of a laser or scalpel, to reshape the cornea and bring near vision back into focus. CK is performed using a small probe, thinner than a strand of human hair, that releases radio waves. The probe is applied in a circular pattern on the outer cornea to shrink small areas of collagen. This circular shrinkage pattern creates a constrictive band (like the tightening of a belt), increasing overall curvature of the cornea. The procedure, which takes less than three minutes, is done in-office with only topical anesthesia (eye drops).

Boston LASIK Surgery

If you're in the Boston, Wellesley or Brookline, MA areas and you're thinking of finally giving up on your glasses or contact lenses for LASIK, check out the vision correction practice of Dr. Ernest W. Kornmehl.

Boston LASIK / Corneal specialist, Dr. Kornmehl is internationally renown for his skill as a LASIK specialist and has been trusted by the Boston community to deliver crystal clear results for over 20 years. Impeccable education and unequalled attention to detail has made Dr. Kornmehl one of the most sought-after ophthalmologists in the world.

But, don't take our word for it. One of Dr. Kornmehl's patients offered this testimonial after his LASIK eye correction surgery:

I have worn contact lenses for the last 20 years (-4.75 w/ astigmatism most recently). During this time, I have had numerous problems with them but would tolerate the discomfort rather than wear glasses. I finally decided that laser surgery would be my only option.

I was referred to Dr. Kornmehl by a colleague who spent 6 years at a company developing the laser technology that is used today. He had the advantage of knowing who the best doctors were across the world performing LASIK. Dr. Kornmehl came highly recommended as an incredible technician and thought leader in the laser eye industry.

The procedure itself was painless with only a couple of hours of post-op tearing and mild burning. One day after the procedure, I was seeing 20/20 with no astigmatism. LASIK has been a life-changing experience. Please know that the LASIK procedure is technique dependent, the computer cannot do all the work, so it pays to go to the very best. My thanks to Dr. Kornmehl and his great staff.

So How Long Does LASIK Take?

Well depending on how much prep time goes into the procedure and the type of procedure, typically the actual LASIK procedure only takes a few minutes per eye.

But there's a lot of preparation that goes into setting up your eyes for the actual laser refractive surgery, so in most cases it takes about an hour for both eyes.

LASIK is relatively quick and virtually pain free. It's no wonder it's become one of the fastest and safest medical procedures today.
