Accuvision - C3R

Postby Ciaron » Thu 11 Mar 2010 1:53 pm

Hi,

Just found this page so wanted to get peoples advice/thoughts. I have KC in both eyes which is slowly deteriorating, however is still at the point where I can have C3R done. Discovered that accuvision near me does the treatment. So two questions really.

1) Is the treatment worthwhile? Or should I try contacts again (I struggle with hard lenses)
2) Are Accuvision good enough to trust with this kind of thing?

Hello Ciaron and welcome to the forum

You ask two intriguing questions, but I am afraid that the Moderators, for legal reasons, will probably edit or remove any attempt to answer your second question. :oops:

the answer to your first question may need some more information: how old are you? how much and how recently has your KC advanced? what is your current corneal thickness?

The best person to advise you on any of this is an eye care professional. As with anything else in keratoconus care, some people are fully signed up admirers of the potential benefits of cxl, others are not.

have you ever tried any other sort of lens than rgp?

All the best

Andrew
