Products: Refractec

Refractec was founded in 1993 to develop and market proprietary technology that would help baby boomers improve their near vision. The result is the NearVision CK: a safe, non-laser vision-correction procedure that is allowing patients to end their frustration with reading glasses. Using the first FDA-approved technology for patients who are presbyopic and hyperopic, physicians have performed over 150,000 treatments, and in the process, are helping patients “see young again.”

• NearVision CK applies radio waves in a circular pattern on the outer cornea to shrink small areas of collagen. This shrinking pattern creates a constrictive band (like the tightening of a belt) increasing the overall curvature of the cornea to bring near vision back into focus.
• The ViewPoint CK System is compact and portable, allowing procedures to be performed in-office. The treatment takes about three minutes, and since the ViewPoint CK System can be acquired for a fraction of the cost of laser surgery or other refractive equipment, it is an affordable addition to any successful practice.
