Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
Keratoconus is characterized by progressive thinning of the cornea resulting in myopic astigmatism and decreased vision. C3 R is effective in decreasing the progression of the keratoconus thus preventing the loss of vision.
Hence you can undergo the procedure.
Thank you
