Conductive Keratoplasty

Conductive keratoplasty (CK) is a recently described innovation in refractive surgery for the correction of low to moderate hyperopia (between + 0.75 and + 3.0 D with less than +0.75 D of coexisting astigmatism). It is a nonincisional and nonlamellar procedure that uses electrical current to generate thermal energy in the cornea and cause corneal steepening by collagen coagulation. This chapter reviews the principles, applications, and clinical results of this procedure.
