I didn't know that they would do C3R on grafted tissue.
I'd be interested to know more, too.

I investigated this in 2005 and was advised that in my case that the slight trauma to the cornea may be what it takes to initiate a rejection.
My grafts are 20 years old and I only investigated this because the cornea my graft is attached to has developed KC again hich is ultra rare.
The other thing is I was told there is an element of light scattering from the UV light and the drops do run over the whole cornea and there was concern that the health graft may thicken and cause other problems.
That is in a nutshell the information I got from those who pioneered the C3R treatment in Dresden, Germany
