| Near
Vision CK: Safely See Young Again |

 |
| The NearVision CK System |
The good news is that those with presbyopia
are now able to safely reduce their dependence on reading glasses
with NearVision CK (Conductive Keratoplasty). NearVision CK is performed
using the ViewPoint CK System, the only technology approved by the
FDA for the temporary improvement of near vision in presbyopic patients.
Longsightedness (hyperopia) can be confused with prebyopia because
it also affects near vision. According to a study by Johns Hopkins
University, up to 62% of people over the age of 40 suffer from hyperopia.
Many of these people have been hyperopic for years, but their more
youthful eyes were able to compensate. When the loss of flexibility
occurs because of age, the ability to compensate is also lost. The
FDA has also approved the technology used to perform CK on patients
with hyperopia.
If you are experiencing problems focusing on close-up objects, see
our eye care professional for a comprehensive eye examination. We
can determine whether the problem is presbyopia or hyperopia. With
this knowledge in hand, you can better evaluate your options . |

| CK can change how the eye focuses light by
reshaping the surface of your eye (cornea). When the shape is changed,
light can be refocused on the correct part of your eye (retina). To
produce this reshaping, CK uses the controlled release of RF energy
to heat and shrink corneal tissue. This steepens the cornea and allows
light to properly focus on the retina again, improving near vision.

Over the age of 45 and needs reading glasses. |
| • |
Does not need glasses for distant vision. |
| • |
Desire a safe, fast ane effective procedure. |
These patients demand to do out reading glasses can ready be meet
with NearVision CK, a unique procedure developed specifically for
the improvement of near vision in presbyopic patients. Performed using
the only technology approved by the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for presbyopes, NearVision CK represents an effective non-laser
alternative for patients over 40 who are ready in eliminating their
reading glasses. |
| |
| Results from the FDA clinical trials confirm
the effectiveness of NearVision CK. Data collected 12 months after
NearVision CK was performed show that 98% of patients could read newspaper-sized
print and when using both eyes, 87% could see 20/20 in the distance
and also read phonebook-sized print. |
