C3R Surgery In Warangal​

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCL) is a new treatment option for patients with symptomatic dry eyes. This procedure uses a topical solution of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and corneal collagen to improve the appearance of the eye. CCL was first used in the late 1990s and has since become a popular treatment for dry eyes. The main benefits of CCL include 

  • Improvement in symptoms: These improvements may include an ability to tolerate daily contact lenses more easily, decreased need for artificial Tears, and improved vision. 
  • Improved vision: In some cases, CCL can result in improved vision without the need for any other corrective measures, such as eyeglasses or contact lenses. 
  • Reduced risk of Dry Eye Syndrome (DES): One of the main risks associated with dry eye is the development of Dry Eye Syndrome (DES). However, CCL is believed to be less likely to lead to DES than other treatment options, such as laser therapy or cryotherapy.

 If you’re interested in trying CCL for your dry eye symptoms or other corneal diseases, be sure to speak with your doctor in Warangal about eligibility and risks before scheduling a surgery appointment.

Procedure of C3R Eye Surgery

C3r surgery

Corneal collagen crosslinking is a procedure used to improve the appearance of the cornea. The cross-linking process bonds collagen fibers together, which in turn improves the overall stability and shape of the cornea. Collagen crosslinking is most commonly used to treat areas of the eye that are recessed or have a distorted shape, such as in advanced age or in people who have had previous surgery on the eye.

The procedure typically involves placing eye drops containing riboflavin onto the eye. This helps to create a reaction between the riboflavin and the corneal tissue, which crosslinks the collagen fibers. After a few minutes, the riboflavin is removed, and your doctor will assess how well the crosslinking process has worked. If needed, additional riboflavin drops can be applied to keep the process active.

There are several potential side effects associated with collagen crosslinking, including mild pain, redness, and increased sensitivity to light. However, these symptoms typically resolve within a few days after the surgery.
