Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) is a minimally invasive, and relatively painless procedure to correct mild degrees of farsightedness and presbyopia. The technique uses radio frequency waves transmitted by a small probe to the periphery of the cornea in a circular pattern.

The energy from these waves tends to subtlety steepen the corneal curvature resulting in a shift of vision that will lessen farsightedness, and enhance reading vision. It is most commonly used to strengthen reading vision in people that have good unaided distance vision. It is usually performed on only one eye to create a type of monovision i.e. the untreated eye will be used for distance, and the treated eye for reading.

A shortcoming of CK is that as one ages and presbyopia increases the effects of the treatment will diminish usually necessitating repeat treatments every couple of years.
