HOLCOMB C3-R® Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (CXL or crosslinking): Fighting Keratoco
Corneal Collagen Cross-linking with Riboflavin (HOLCOMB C3-R®) is an increasingly popular treatment option for vision disorders including Keratoconus. This is the only treatment to stop the progression of Keratoconus, preserve vision, and avoid the need for the invasive long recovery cornea transplant surgery.
HOLCOMB C3-R® improves corneal structuring that has been weakened. It strengthens and stops the advanced symptoms of Keratoconus. In many cases vision distortions are decreased and effectively alleviated. HOLCOMB C3-R® treatments increase the amount of collagen cross-linking within the cornea. These cross links are natural anchors and provide stability to the shape of the cornea. The affects of Keratoconus cause corneas to thin out. As they thin, shape is compromised due to the intraocular pressure beneath. The pressure causes the cornea to bulge outward distorting the surface and causing light rays to enter the eyeball at improper angles. Without medical intervention, as Keratoconus progresses, it can seriously disrupt the quality of an individual's lifestyle. Additionally, central cornea scarring may also develop.
Keratoconus changes refractive errors of the cornea and causes differing degrees of blurriness to occur. For certain patients, advanced Keratoconus may only be non-surgically treated by RGP (rigid gas-preamble) corrective lenses. HOLCOMB C3-R® collagen crosslinking with riboflavin restores the integrity of the corneas shape by creating more anchoring devices within the structure of the cornea itself. Taking only 30 minutes per eye, HOLCOMB C3-R® treatments utilize eye drops containing modified riboflavin. These drops are activated by a source of ultraviolet light. As the riboflavin becomes active, collagen cross-linking is increased and quality of vision is improved and preserved.
HOLCOMB C3-R® collagen crosslinking techniques may also be implemented in conjunction with Intacs® cornea inserts to more effectively battle the chronic symptoms of keratoconus. Intacs® cornea inserts are super-thin medical-grade plastic inserts that are inserted, via very small incisions, into sub-corneal regions in order to reverse the corneal bulging associated with keratoconus. Intacs® are FDA-approved. They are also the only refractive surgery technique that actually adds corneal structural integrity to an eye with Keratoconus.
Modern vision enhancement techniques and products, including HOLCOMB C3-R® collagen crosslinking with riboflavin and Intacs® corneal inserts, are reversing and eliminating the serious vision loss of keratoconus for Americans everywhere. Begin preserving your vision by learning more today.
