During the conductive keratoplasty procedure at Chicago Cornea Consultants, radio frequency energy is used to shrink corneal tissue and steepen the cornea, reducing the level of farsightedness. After conductive keratoplasty, you may experience some mild discomfort or scratchiness, but the procedure is considered painless. Once conductive keratoplasty is complete, you will not have to wear an eye patch, and you should be able to return to work or normal daily activities the next day. Your vision should begin improving about one week after conductive keratoplasty. If you want the benefits of laser vision correction but are afraid of surgery, conductive keratoplasty may be perfect for you. Conductive keratoplasty is painless and can be performed in as little as three minutes. If you think conductive keratoplasty may be right for you, contact Chicago Cornea Consultants today!
