Understanding Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease in which the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye, thins and bulges outward into a cone-like shape. This abnormal shape causes distorted vision and can lead to significant visual impairment if left untreated. Common symptoms of keratoconus include:

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R) for Keratoconus

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R) is an advanced treatment designed to strengthen the cornea and halt the progression of keratoconus. At i Care Centre, we specialize in performing C3R using the latest techniques and equipment to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.

1. What is C3R?

2. Procedure Overview:

Preparation: The eye is numbed with anesthetic eye drops to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. The epithelium, the thin outer layer of the cornea, may be gently removed to allow better penetration of the riboflavin drops.
Riboflavin Application: Riboflavin eye drops are applied to the cornea for about 30 minutes. This allows the riboflavin to saturate the corneal tissue.
UVA Light Exposure: After the cornea is saturated with riboflavin, the eye is exposed to controlled UVA light for approximately 30 minutes. The combination of riboflavin and UVA light induces the formation of new collagen bonds, strengthening the cornea.

3. Post-Procedure Care:

Following the C3R procedure, patients are prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation. A protective contact lens may be placed on the eye to promote healing.
Patients are advised to avoid rubbing their eyes and to follow their post-procedure care instructions carefully. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the healing process and assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

Benefits of C3R for Keratoconus

C3R offers several significant benefits for patients with keratoconus:

Stabilization of the Cornea: The primary goal of C3R is to halt the progression of keratoconus by strengthening the corneal structure.
Minimally Invasive: C3R is a minimally invasive procedure with a relatively quick recovery time compared to other surgical options.
Improved Vision: By stabilizing the cornea, C3R can improve vision quality and reduce the need for more invasive surgeries.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Early treatment with C3R can prevent the development of advanced keratoconus, which often requires more complex surgical interventions such as corneal transplantation.
