C3R Surgery In Chandigarh​

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) is a promising treatment for patients with severe dry eye syndrome. The procedure uses riboflavin, which is a vitamin B2, to form crosslinks between the cornea’s proteins. This helps to reduce the amount of dry eye syndrome-related inflammation and pain.

The procedure is very safe, and there are few side effects. Patients typically experience some mild discomfort during the initial days after the surgery, and they may need to use artificial tears for a few weeks. However, most people regain their normal vision within a few months.

The CCL procedure is available at many hospitals in Chandigarh. If you are interested in this treatment, be sure to speak with your doctor about your eligibility.

Procedure of C3R Eye Surgery

C3r surgery

Corneal collagen crosslinking is a surgical procedure used to improve the clarity of the eye by reversing the damage caused by age and sun exposure. The procedure uses a special dye called riboflavin to crosslink the corneal collagen. This repairs the cornea and restores its ability to protect the eye from glare and UV radiation.

The surgery is performed as an outpatient under local anesthesia. First, the doctor removes the excess fat and other materials from around the eye using a surgical tool called a lancet. Next, they make a small cut in the outer layer of the eye (the conjunctiva) and insert a tiny needle into the cornea. This allows them to inject riboflavin directly into the cornea.

Over time, this dye will crosslink the corneal collagen, repairing damage and restoring clear vision. In some cases, after crosslinking is complete, additional treatments may be necessary (such as laser treatment) to maintain optimal results.
