C3R Surgery In Haridwar​

Corneal collagen cross-linking with Riboflavin has become a very popular treatment in recent years, due to its ability to restore the transparency and elasticity of the cornea. This procedure is performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other treatments such as PRK (photorefractive keratectomy).

The riboflavin used in this procedure is an antioxidant that helps to cross-link the corneal collagen. This results in a stronger and more durable structure that can restore the optical properties of the eye. Cross-linking also reduces the appearance of scars and helps to improve vision in patients who have undergone this procedure.

The benefits of this treatment are significant, and it is likely that it will become even more popular in the future. If you are considering this treatment, be sure to speak to your doctor in Haridwar about what is best for you.

Procedure of C3R Eye Surgery

C3r surgery

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) is a treatment that strengthens the cornea. The procedure takes about an hour, and you will be able to see it immediately afterward.

‘The doctor first numbs the eye with an anesthetic and then uses a special laser to heat up the cornea. This causes tiny bubbles to form and the collagen in the cornea to break down. The doctor then applies riboflavin to these bubbles, which helps the collagen reform.
