Optic Nerve Atrophy and Stem Cells (self.Blind)
submitted by 00_denisa_00
Hello.

Do you know people who had Stem Cells injections for ONA and worked? I know there is no treatment for this condition but I still want to ask, do you guys know something that may work?

I was told that stem cells wouldn’t give me the peripheral vision my ONA took, because my brain never developed it. So I’ve not really been following the progress of it - it would be amazing if they found something to help people though.

Sorry but don’t hold your breath for too long. If it comes then it comes. But until then a lot of these are just false hopes and speculations and ultimately let people down.

I have O N H. Would be cool if this worked for underdeveloped optic nerves

Look into Neuralink or brain machine interfaces. I firmly believe this will cure all of us in the coming decades.

Wow! Someone with the same condition as me. That's actually, really cool! :) A doctor mentioned that stem cell research was promising for OA, but that was back in the 2008-2011 area I think? He retired and we stopped going to the hospital so have not heard much since,

Lerry Benowitz is doing research on it but he said it’s working if you do the treatment as dooms as possible since it appeared.

Ah, no hope for me then. I'm 19 years past my cell by date. See what I did there? :D
