As Holcomb rose through the ranks of American bobsledders however, a degenerative eye disease (Keratoconus), initially diagnosed in 2002, began to affect his daily life and competitive skills which led to depression. In 2007 a non-invasive surgical procedure, corneal collagen cross-linking (C3-R) was performed to stabilize the disease, and in 2008 implantable corrective lenses were inserted and provided a measure of correction during the 2007–2008 season, allowing him to earn three gold, three silver, and one bronze medals. After Holcomb won gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler renamed the procedure C3-R to Holcomb C3-R in Holcomb's honor, marking the first time a medical procedure was named after an Olympic athlete.
