C3r treatment side effects.
C3r is a keratoconus treatment.
You need to be in mumbai for these days 4 5 days post c3r 2.
What are the various side effects associated with the c3r treatment.
The procedure lasts one hour and you really dnt feel much pain at all.
Basically the eye is covered with a patch that you can remove if you like.
When the uv light is applied to this it is actually absorbed in the cornea itself.
After c3r the follow up is as follows.
The most common ocular side effect is haze.
This is used to coat the cornea.
The cornea consists of collagen which is made of proteins.
In this treatment riboflavin is used.
More than 85 of eyes treated with cxl showed a significant increase.
A large number of major clinical studies has proven the effectiveness of cxl and the lack of serious side effects.

Next follow up check after 3 months during which we check the topography maps as well.
Hi i have had c3r treatment on my eyes.
As is the case with any experimental treatment there may also be long term risks that have not yet been identified.
Keratoconus is a fairly rare condition of the eye where the cornea becomes stretched and begins to form something of a bulge.
Other ocular side effects include inflammation fine white lines dry eye disruption of surface cells eye pain light sensitivity reduced sharpness of vision and blurred vision.
The risk information provided here is not comprehensive.
C3r addresses the root cause of keratoconus namely the instability of the corneal tissue.
C3r corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin.
Other ocular side effects include inflammation fine white lines dry eye disruption of surface cells eye pain light sensitivity reduced sharpness of vision and blurred vision.
The increased corneal rigidity induced by exposure to uva and riboflavin may wear off over time and further periodic treatments may be required raising the possibility of other side effects from repeat doses of the treatment.
The most common ocular side effect is haze.
This can be done in your own city.
