How does CK eye treatment compare to laser eye correction?

There are several differences between the 2 treatments

Because it is minimally invasive, the procedure has very few surgical complications. More than 400 procedures were performed in the official FDA studies in to the effectiveness and safety of CK, prior to its formal approval in April 2002.  No patient had a serious complication or had best corrected vision below the driving standard. It is because of this high safety profile that many patients in the 40-70 age group, typically more conservative than the younger laser vision correction patients, are comfortable coming forward to have CK.

These patients like CK because a) there is no blade used, b) no laser is needed, c) no tissue is removed, and d) the important central corneal line of sight isn't touched.

Advantages of CK eye treatment over laser eye surgery:

  1. safer
  2. very low risk of infection
  3. quicker procedure
  4. no cutting or blade
  5. no LASIK flap complications
  6. much less dry eye
  7. no tissue removal as in laser correction
  8. no weakening or thinning of the cornea
  9. no laser used
  10. central line of sight area of the cornea not touched
