Keratoconus Treatment | T-Cat + C3R Procedure

In this video, Dr. Gunjan Budhiraja, Cornea & Refractive Surgeon at Eye7 Eye Hospitals, New Delhi, demonstrates a near - live T-CAT + Cross-Linking procedure on a keratoconus patient and shares the patient’s post-operative journey and feedback. Keratoconus is a condition in which the transparent front part of the eye (cornea) bulges out in a cone-like shape, causing distorted and blurred vision. Standard LASIK surgeries like Contoura, SMILE, or WaveLight are not suitable for such patients due to the thin and irregular shape of their cornea. However, with customised laser treatments like T-CAT (Topography-Guided Custom Ablation Treatment) followed by C3R (Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking), the cornea can be reshaped and strengthened, significantly improving the patient’s vision. Dr. Gunjan walks us through the step-by-step procedure—starting with patient-specific treatment planning using Pentacam scans, followed by topo-guided laser correction, and finally applying riboflavin drops and UV light for corneal cross-linking. The entire surgery is bladeless, painless, and performed under topical anaesthesia, making it safe and comfortable for patients. The video also features of a young patient who underwent T-CAT surgery 8–9 months ago. He shares his personal story—how keratoconus was diagnosed, his laser treatment experience, and the remarkable improvement in his vision. He highlights how smooth and painless the surgery was, how quickly he recovered, and how his vision quality and clarity improved beyond expectations. He strongly recommends this procedure to others struggling with keratoconus. ⍟ ⍟ ⍟ 👨‍⚕️ABOUT THE SURGEON - Dr. Gunjan Budhiraja (Cornea Specialist at Eye7 Eye Hospitals, Lajpat Nagar) 🔗https://www.eye7.in/eye-specialists/dr-Gunjan-Budhiraja// ☑️ Treatment Options for Keratoconus 👉 Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL or C3R) – A non-invasive strengthening procedure using riboflavin eye drops and UV light to stabilize the cornea and prevent progression. 👉 Specialized Contact Lenses – Scleral lenses and Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses help improve vision. 👉 Customized Laser Treatments – T-CAT, PTK, and Transepithelial PRK (T-PRK) can reshape the cornea in selected cases. 👉 Implantable Devices – Intacs and Corneal Segments (CAIRS) help reduce astigmatism and improve vision. 👉 Corneal Transplant (Keratoplasty) – In advanced keratoconus, a partial or full-thickness corneal transplant may be required. Keratoconus can be effectively managed if diagnosed and treated on time. If you or someone you know is experiencing blurry vision that does not improve with glasses, it’s essential to get an early eye checkup for better treatment planning. ⍟ ⍟ ⍟ 🎥 Other Videos on the Treatment of Keratoconus ✅ Keratoconus and C3R Corneal Cross-Linking Treatment (In Hindi) 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJbjkjbcH4w ✅ C3R LIVE surgery for Keratoconus 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYWcOzToCrg ✅ ICL surgery for Specs Removal for Keratoconus Patients 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QahjsUOfNYY&t=30s ✅ (C3R + Epi-Contoura) - A special combined laser procedure for Specs Removal for Keratoconus Patients 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZrcrTOxvGI&t=23s ⍟ ⍟ ⍟ ✅CONTACT US: Telephone: (011) 40 40 40 70 (Available 24x7) WhatsApp: (+91) 9643 778899 (https://wa.me/919643778899) Email: info@eye7.in Website: https://www.eye7.in/​​​ Locations: Delhi-NCR, INDIA (Lajpat Nagar, Daryaganj, Janakpuri, Shaheen Bagh, Preet Vihar, Indirapuram-Ghaziabad) ⍟ ⍟ ⍟ #Keratoconus #TcatLaser #CornealCrossLinking #C3R #CustomLaser #BladelessSurgery #DrGunjanBudhiraja #Eye7Hospitals #LiveEyeSurgery #VisionCorrection #ICLLens #DelhiEyeHospital #KeratoconusTreatment #AdvancedEyecare #LaserEyeSurgery #EyeCareIndia #PatientStory #TopographyGuided #EyeSurgeryIndia #RefractiveSurgery ⚠️MEDICAL ADVICE DISCLAIMER: The information on various eye problems and treatments available at this channel is intended for general guidance only, not advice or guarantee of outcome, and must never be considered a substitute for the advice provided by a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional upon your eye examination.
