Keratoconus

It is non-invasive treatment for keratoconus. It strengthens the collagen tissue, which forms the fabric of the cornea. It is a simple 60 minutes in-office procedure. Eye drops containing Riboflavin (VitaminB2) are applied on the cornea and then activated by Ultra-violet light. The collagen cross-linking increases the strength of the cornea by 300 percent, thereby stopping it from bulging outwards and arresting keratoconus progression. In severe cases, C3-R treatment can also be combined with Intacs to achieve more flattening the Keratoconus cone.

At first the condition can commonly be redressed with glasses or delicate contact focal points. As the sickness intensifies extraordinary contact focal points might be required. In a great many people the ailment settles following a couple of years without extreme vision issues. In few individuals scarring of the cornea happens and a corneal transplantation is required.
