Welcome to the forum!
Where are you located and where do you get seen? As it would be good to see how/ which eye uit is giving the option for Cross Linking?

10x Jay,
I’m actually located in Israel,
My doctor is one of the must popular intact surgeons in Israel.
He told me that cross linking is not available yet in Israel, and he recommended me London as a place to check it.
i have read a lot the forum here, and i have seen that few persons recommended c3-R and stated that it is best done on Germany.
at this stage I’m confused, but i do think i will arrive to London sometime in the next few months to check the cross linking option, or i will go straight to Dresden.
by the way, how can i get some contact info in dersden?
i didn't see any at their site.

If you are coming to London than you haev options to have it done here. OR, just contact the team in Dresden.....although one of the Drs from there that was performing this treatment has left and gone to another location.
I have PM'd you a contact for them

Shalom! and welcome to the forum. We are in increasingly international communit of people who are united in our shared eye condition.
If your doc thinks you would benefit from lenses I'd certainly think they were worth a try. C3R would not necessarily make lenses unnecessary, although it might mean that you have to have them replaced less frequently.
All the best.
