Eye treatment in India

C3R / Corneal Cross-Linking

Corneal collagen cross-linking to strengthen the cornea in keratoconus and corneal ectasia.

C3R, commonly referred to as corneal collagen cross-linking, is a treatment used primarily to strengthen the cornea in suitable patients with progressive corneal weakening.

It is particularly associated with conditions such as keratoconus and certain forms of corneal ectasia.

The procedure uses riboflavin and controlled ultraviolet-A exposure to strengthen the corneal collagen structure.

The primary objective is generally to slow or stop further progression rather than simply improve spectacle power.

Suitability depends on corneal thickness, shape, disease progression and other clinical factors.

Our corneal specialists can assess diagnostic scans and recommend whether cross-linking is appropriate.
