I'm really worried about this whole nightfall thing. Is seeing a urologist the right move? I'm getting these dreams whenever it happens. Do you have any advice or prescriptions that could help me avoid nightfall for good?

C3R (Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin) treatment is a minimally invasive procedure to treat keratoconus, corneal ectasia, and other corneal disorders.

Longevity of C3R Treatment

1. Stabilization: C3R treatment can stabilize the cornea and halt the progression of keratoconus or corneal ectasia.
2. Long-term efficacy: Studies have shown that C3R treatment can be effective for 5-10 years or more, depending on individual factors.
3. Potential for future treatment: Although C3R treatment can provide long-term stabilization, some patients may require additional treatment in the future, such as repeat C3R or other surgical interventions.

Potential Side Effects of C3R Treatment

1. Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection with C3R treatment.
2. Inflammation: Some patients may experience inflammation or haze in the cornea after C3R treatment.
3. Dry eye: C3R treatment can cause temporary dry eye symptoms, which usually resolve on their own.
4. Visual disturbances: Some patients may experience visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light, after C3R treatment.
