Keratoconus C3R surgery
I had c3r surgery on both my eyes for Keratoconus 2weeks ago. Could you please tell me what precautions I need to take to reduce the probability of progression? Should I not sleep on my side?
Also, after how many days of c3r can I wash inside my eyes with water?
Thank you for your help.
