C3r treatment side effects.
To learn more talk to your healthcare provider.
The most common ocular side effect is haze.
After c3r the follow up is as follows.
The increased corneal rigidity induced by exposure to uva and riboflavin may wear off over time and further periodic treatments may be required raising the possibility of other side effects from repeat doses of the treatment.
C3r corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin.
As is the case with any experimental treatment there may also be long term risks that have not yet been identified.
Keratoconus is a fairly rare condition of the eye where the cornea becomes stretched and begins to form something of a bulge.
Other ocular side effects include inflammation fine white lines dry eye disruption of surface cells eye pain light sensitivity reduced sharpness of vision and blurred vision.
When the uv light is applied to this it is actually absorbed in the cornea itself.

The procedure lasts one hour and you really dnt feel much pain at all.
One of the newer and promising treatment options for keratoconus is corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin or c3r.
Next follow up check after 3 months during which we check the topography maps as well.
