C3R Treatment for Keratoconus
by Adam on Apr.15, 2008, under Diseases, LASIK
Many LASIK and refractive surgeons are now using Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (C3R) as a treatment for patients with keratoconus. Recent evidence and studies are showing that Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (C3R) strengthens the corneal structure and can help prevent the progression of keratoconus. C3R works by increasing collagen crosslinking, giving the cornea greater ability to withstand degeneration that occurs in diseases such as kerataconus. The newly strengthened cornea protects against the bulging out and becoming steep and irregular, consequence of advanced keratoconus.
