I just turned 16, and I'm on the exact same path as this kid once was. My doctor told me at my last check-up that if I don't have some sort of surgical intervention, I WILL be blind with the next 5 years. Luckily there is a procedure called corneal collagen crosslinking, but sadly it's not covered by insurance yet. It's going to cost our family $7,000-$8,000. I'll actually be getting the procedure done in about 5 days.

Its too bad with all the stupid government spending people cant just have free health care without losing so much just trying to get by let alone ahead in life.

The father James Belohovek is a wonderful man who reached out to me on facebook to encourage me to come to Beverly Hills to see Dr.BoxerWachler.

Dr. Brian performed C3-R on my 15 yr old three years ago. Her eyes remain the same-no advancement of the Keratoconus! She wears soft contact lenses for regular vision correction for near sightedness. He's our hero!!

Go Brian!
It brought me to tears.

Does cross-linking actually improves the vision and makes it better? or just stabilize it?

@2454014 Holcomb C3-R's main goal is to stabilize vision and the Keratoconus. Often it will be combined with Intacs and other procedures to IMPROVE vision and allow people to regain their lives again.
