C3R Surgery In Varanasi​

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) has become a popular treatment for corneal diseases, such as keratoconus and corneal dystrophy. CCL is a noninvasive technique that uses riboflavin (vitamin B2) to crosslink the cornea’s collagen fibers. The procedure is safe and effective, and it can be performed in either an outpatient or in-patient setting.

The benefits of CCL include improved vision, reduced risk of corneal surgery, and decreased dependency on glasses or contacts. The procedure is typically completed in two sessions, and patients typically experience a minor amount of discomfort following the procedure.

If you are interested in undergoing CCL treatment in Varanasi, please consult with one of our specialists at Mantracare. We will be able to provide you with all the information you need about the procedure and its benefits, and we will also be able to answer any questions you may have about your eligibility for CCL treatment.

Procedure of C3R Eye Surgery

C3r surgery

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) is a type of eye surgery that uses riboflavin to alter the structure of the cornea. CCL is generally used to treat keratoconus, a condition in which the cornea becomes too thin and can no longer properly filter light out of the eye. 

The surgery begins by placing an anesthetic gel in the patient’s eyes. Then, the doctor will remove the patient’s natural lens and place a sterile lens on top. Next, they will use a laser to crosslink the cornea’s collagen. This process causes the cornea to become more elastic and less likely to expand or contract due to changes in humidity or temperature. 

After cross-linking, the doctor will replace the sterile lens with a regular contact lens and give the patient a bandage to keep it in place for 24 hours. Finally, they will remove the bandage and perform another set of measurements to determine if any further adjustments are needed.

Happy Patients from Varanasi after C3R Surgery

Rishi Sachdeva

“I had known about corneal crosslinking as a procedure that has been widely talked about in India and abroad. I was keen to take part in this procedure but did not want to go through the hassle of traveling to get it done. MantraCare came up with an experience I could not resist. I was able to crosslink my cornea within 3 hours of arriving at the clinic. It was really convenient and quite affordable too.”

– Rishi (Varanasi)
