Hi Chris,

Jay went all the way to Dresden, Germany as no one was offering the treatment in the UK.

There are apparently some private places in London carrying out this procedure and I beleive it is about £1000 per eye. Dresden are the experts in Europe and numbers are between 200 - 300 over the past 4 - 5 years I think.

Why are you looking at C3R treatments?

Chris

I dont think Germany now take ppl from overseas...as there preference is to have it done locally.

Do a search on C3R and you will find a few posts which had the names of UK places which do this...www.centreforsight.com is one

Chris

Whats your background and reasons for having C3R? You sound adamant you want this; which kinda rings alarm bells to me....and I mean that in the best way possible!

I have PMd you details of the place for C3R in Germany, but they may refer you to UK based practices now; as I beleive that have done this to a number of UK'ers!
