C3R Surgery In Dehradun​

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) with riboflavin (vitamin B2) is one of the newer and more promising treatments. One of the biggest benefits of CCL with riboflavin is that it is very safe. There are no reported side effects, and in some cases, the results can be even better than those achieved with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, CCL with riboflavin can be performed as an outpatient procedure, so there is little downtime involved.

If you are interested in having CCL with riboflavin performed in Dehradun, please contact our clinic for more information.

Procedure of C3R Eye Surgery

C3r surgery

The cross-linking procedure is performed under general anesthesia by a surgeon who inserts a sterile needle into the eye. The needle is then inserted into the center of the lower lid, just below the eyebrow. This allows access to the eye without causing damage or discomfort.

Once access has been established, the surgeon slowly injects riboflavin into the eye using a syringe. The amount of riboflavin used depends on the severity of the condition being treated and ranges from 0.5 to 2 milliliters. Riboflavin is a yellow-orange color and will turn darker over time as it reacts with oxygen in the air.

The cross-linking process takes between 30 minutes and two hours to complete. Afterward, patients are typically allowed to rest for about an hour before returning home. There are no long-term side effects associated with crosslinking, but some people may experience mild discomfort after surgery due to swelling in the eye area.
