Hello
A. C3R is quite safe ...no procedure is 100% safe but you can go ahead with this procedure
B. It is basically machine based procedure...consult local cornea specialist

Talk to experienced eye specialist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
How much is the vision with glasses and how much it has progressed in last 5 years..becoz at this age further progress is unlikely.and if vision is very much deranged or it has fastly progressed in last few years or there is major problem due to anisometrppia. Then the c3r is urgently needed.
If you are enjoying 6/6 vision with glasses and the number is stable for last few years then theŕ is no urgency.
