    1. To Evaluate the Effect of Holcomb C3-R on Progressive Hyperopia after Radial Keratotomy

    2. Financial Disclosures: Consultant to Addition Tech, Staar Surgical

    3. The Unstable Cornea Corneal instability (variable refractive and keratometry values) has associated weakness in the corneal collagen crosslinking Holcomb C3-R® (transepithelial crosslinking) leads to improved corneal stability in weakened corneas

    4. Retrospective Study 3 eyes of 2 patients All eyes had prior RK All had subsequent laser (PRK or LASIK) for progressive hyperopia All eyes had further hyperopia progression

    5. Retrospective Study Age of patients: 64 and 63 years old All eyes had 3 years follow up after Holcomb C3-R® (transepithelial crosslinking) No complications

    6. Results

    7. LogMar Acuities

    8. Mean Spherical Equivalent (D)

    9. Refractive Cylinder

    10. K values (D)

    12. Discussion Results suggest stabilization Three eyes is a small study; would be more valuable with larger number of eyes at 3 year post procedure
