C3R Surgery In Belgaum​

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) is a promising treatment for dry eyes due to its ability to restore the corneal surface’s water-binding properties. It is also effective in treating other ocular conditions, including keratoconus, meibomian gland dysfunction, and age-related macular degeneration. Riboflavin is a naturally occurring vitamin B2 that is often used in skin treatments because of its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Dr. Jain performs CCL using riboflavin in Belgaum, India because of its favorable safety profile and effectiveness in treating various ocular conditions. If you are interested in having CCL performed at your clinic, be sure to discuss your treatment goals with your doctor before beginning the process.

Procedure of C3R Eye Surgery

C3r surgery

The procedure is performed as an outpatient surgery. First, the doctor will remove the dried Tears film (a protective layer that forms over the eye during crying) with a special instrument called a hydrocolloid blade. They then will make an incision in the center of your eye and use a suction device to remove any surface debris.

Next, they will place a thin layer of riboflavin over the eye and wait for it to dry. A small number of tiny energy beams (called excimer lasers) are then directed at the riboflavin, causing it to break down into free radicals. These free radicals attack and crosslink the collagen in your eye, which helps improve your vision.

The entire procedure usually takes about 30 minutes and you can go home right after it’s done. Most people experience minimal pain or no pain at all.
