How Effective Is Kerarings And C3R Combination Procedure?

Hi, I m a Kerotoconus Patient in Advance Stage, I have been using RGP lenses for over 2 years. I was suggested to go for a Kerarings and C3R combination procedure, and ICL after 3 months. After C3R can ICL be performed without Kerarings to correct vision?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with keratoconus.
C3 R can be done to arrest the progression of the disease.
Following C3R kerarings implantation can be done to stabilize and improve vision.

Hence I advice you to continue treatment asadvised by your doctor.

Thank you

Hello
welcome to health care magic

It seems from the history that you are having keratoconus in the advanced stage.
The treatment options for you are C3 R to arrest the progression of keratoconus and insertion of ICL or kerarings for correction of vision. You can undergo both these procedures for improvement in vision.

Thank you
