Hi Dr. I am 27/M having Keratoconus.. My doctor suggested me to do C3R surgery and Intacs. Will the Keratoconus progress after the C3R ? If yes, will Intacs give support to C3R to stop the progress of keratoconus.. Thanks for the reply

Hello, C3R and Intacs will help in halting the progression of your keratoconus. Intacs will reshape your cornea by acting as a band which stop protrusion of thinned out cornea. So you can go for the treatment.
Next Steps
Consult with doctor regarding simultaneous C3R and Intacs or to do procedure one after the other.
