Leading non-laser refractive procedure makes its Denver and Colorado Springs debut

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) uses radio waves to bring near vision back into focus, eliminating the need for reading glasses and bifocals

Paul Cutarelli, M.D. is the first and only surgeon CK-certified for the Colorado Springs area

DENVER and COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Thousands of Colorado residents who are sick of their reading glasses will welcome the introduction of conductive keratoplasty (CK) to the market. "Busy professionals hate the hassle of reading glasses," said ophthalmologist Paul Cutarelli, M.D. "CK turns back the clock on aging eyes."

Although more than 50,000 CK procedures have been performed since the system was approved, the procedure is just now making its way into Denver and Colorado Springs.

Refractec's proprietary ViewPoint CK System is the first and only vision technology approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the millions of baby boomers with presbyopia. Greek for "aging eyes," presbyopia is the nation's most prevalent eye condition that sets in soon after age 40, making it difficult to read and see things up close.

CK is performed using a probe thinner than a strand of hair that releases radiofrequency energy. Applied to the cornea in a circular pattern, the radio waves shrink small areas of collagen to create a constrictive band (like the tightening of a belt) that increases the curvature of the cornea, bringing near vision back into focus. CK is performed by an ophthalmologist as an in-office procedure. The results are immediate.

CK results in a temporary improvement of near vision for those who need reading glasses and bifocals.
