C3R Surgery In Ghaziabad​

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) is a common procedure used to improve the quality of your vision. CCL uses riboflavin (vitamin B2) to help your eye’s natural collagen fibers bond together more easily, which can improve the clarity of your vision. In addition to improving your vision, CCL has many other benefits, such as reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration, reducing the risk of diabetes, and improving the overall appearance of your eyes.

There are a few different types of CCL procedures available, but the most common is laser-assisted CCL. This type of procedure uses a laser to heat up the surface of your cornea and then uses a special solution to help the collagen fibers bond together. There are also radiofrequency-assisted CCL procedures available, which use RF waves to help heat up the surface of your cornea and help the collagen fibers bond together.

If you are interested in having CCL performed on your eyes, be sure to speak with your eye doctor in Ghaziabad about all of your options.

Procedure of C3R Eye Surgery

C3r surgery

The patient typically takes a small dose of riboflavin before the procedure. The ophthalmologist then applies a topical anesthetic to the affected area and removes any eyeglasses or contact lenses. The anesthetic can also be given intravenously if needed. After applying pressure to the eye for a short time, the ophthalmologist begins the CCL procedure.

The ophthalmologist first applies riboflavin to the cornea in an exact location where it will crosslink the collagen. Next, they use a handheld laser to heat up the riboflavin until it begins to break down into its active form, flavin mononucleotide (FMN). This process forms FMN-CoA bonds with the corneal collagen, which starts to rebuild the damaged areas in the cornea. As CCL continues, more and more FMN-CoA bonds are formed until finally all of the collagen has been crosslinked.

After completing the CCL procedure, most patients experience some mild discomfort and dryness for about two weeks.
