Stem Cell Therapy for Optic Nerve in Mumbai, India

What is Optic Nerve Atrophy?

The optic Nerve also is known as Cranial Nerve 2, is responsible for the transmission of the visual information to the brain from the retina. The optic nerve is an oval or circular pinkish area, measuring about 1.5 – 2 mm in diameter located in the middle of the retina. Optic Nerve carries many other nerves connecting the retina with the region in the brain responsible for interpreting vision known as the occipital lobe.

ONA (Optic Nerve Atrophy) is the severe or mild damage to the optic nerve which can affect the central vision, peripheral vision and color vision. This disease in children may lead to involuntary, rhythmic, or nystagmus eye movement.

Stem Cell Therapy for Optic Nerve Atrophy

Causes of Optic Nerve Atrophy

There are various causes of Optic Nerve Atrophy like a tumour, trauma, reduced oxygen or blood supply, infections, toxins, hydrocephalus along with other degenerative disorders. Optic Nerve Atrophy mostly affects the people right from the birth throughout the adulthood.

The main causes of Optic Nerve Atrophy are as follows –

Glaucoma :

This is an eye disorder that shows the fluid buildup in the front part of the eye leading to the pressure that damages the optic nerve. If left untreated, this disorder can lead to the permanent blindness and optic nerve damage. 

Tumors :

Lesions or tumors enlarge the muscles and areas associated with eye movement which puts in a lot of pressure on the optic nerve causing optic nerve damage. One of the popular reason behind optic nerve atrophy caused by tumors is compressive optic neuropathy.

Optic Neuritis :

The inflammation of the optic nerve caused by the bacterial, fungal and viral infections, parasitic diseases, an autoimmune disorder, poor circulation, digestive problem, diabetes is known as the Optic Neuritis. The patients with Optic Neuritis have high chances of getting optic nerve damaged. This inflammation mainly affects the Myelin covering leading to the swelling and damage to optic nerve with time. The patients might experience severe pain even in the normal eye movement. This disease can be mostly in the young and middle-aged women.

Nutritional Optic Neuropathy :

In this condition, the optic nerve damage is caused by the deficiencies of Protein, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid. These deficiencies are caused by the poor nutrition, starvation, alcoholism and poor absorption.

Toxic Optic Neuropathy :

This condition is caused by the exposure to toxins or poison like tobacco, alcohol, cyanide, Methyl Alcohol, Lead, Carbon Monoxide and also caused by the deficiencies of Vitamin B12. Toxic Optic Neuropathy suddenly or gradually damages the optic nerve resulting in vision loss.

Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy :

As the name states, this condition is the congenital eye disorder. This can cause fast and painless central vision loss among young men in their early 20s. This vision loss first can be found in one eye which then progressed to other eye weeks later. This condition can cause permanent optic nerve damage leading to permanent vision loss.

Symptoms of Optic Nerve Atrophy

There are various symptoms of Optic Nerve Atrophy and few of them are as follows –

  • Poor Visual function
  • Less sharpness or clarity of vision
  • Blurred Vision
  • Decreased Peripheral Vision
  • Changes in Optic Disc
  • Decreased brightness in one eye
  • Reduced constriction of the pupil in light

Conventional Treatment Methods for Optic Nerve Atrophy :

Traditional treatment methods for Optic Nerve Atrophy are limited to few extents of the damage. This type of treatment is mainly prescribing spectacle for refractive errors, use of tinted lens or magnifiers to improve visual function, reduction of fluid pressure around the brain, and spinal cord.

The optic nerve damage can be reversed with the help of Stem Cell Therapy. This therapy involves the infusion of stem cells directly in the retrobulbar area to repair the damaged optic nerve tissues. The stem cells can be differentiated into several photoreceptors in the retinal pigment cells and optic nerves.

Treatment Option Available for Optic Nerve Atrophy

Optic Nerve Atrophy Treatment depends upon the symptoms. To make the patient's condition better, the patient will be advised to take plenty of fluids, bed rest, Antibiotics and counter medications. In a few cases, Optic Nerve Atrophy may not need any treatment, and it can be cured with time.

Because of the stem cell's ability to multiply and promoting healing mechanisms, Stem Cell Therapy is the highly effective treatment modality for Optic Nerve Atrophy.

The recent and latest research revealed that stem cells could rejuvenate brain cells. Also, it improves the symptoms and leads to prolonging lives. When stem cells enter the human body, they not only find the damaged area and works on repairing the damage part and cells of the area but also develop new healthy cells in the human body. In Optic Nerve Atrophy patients, stem cells recover myelin, which causes a reduction of symptoms. Improvements after stem cell therapy usually start in the next four months.

Optic Nerve Atrophy patients had a hard time altering medications suitable as per need. Various steroids or disease controlling or modifying drugs are only supposed to manage few specific symptoms, but most of the time, they are not entirely successful in their job and cannot cure all the symptoms or problems. Another main concern is the side effects of drugs. Because of these reasons, lots of people have turned to alternative treatment modalities.

Is Stem Cell Therapy Safe for Optic Nerve Damage?

Stem Cell Therapy Is 100% Safer for the Treatment of Optic Nerve Atrophy. Very Much useful And Potent than The Allopathic Medicine. Stem cell therapy for Optic Nerve Atrophy in India Is Very Safe and Effective by best Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor in India.

Is Stem Cell Curable for Optic Nerve Regeneration?

Stem cells are the natural part of the human body, and they have the unique ability to find and repair the damaged tissues.

There is also no risk of rejection or side effects. The whole procedure is completed within only a few hours and it is rapid, painless, simple, and safe.

MedAcess has developed the Stem Cell Therapy program to treat various conditions. During our stem cell treatment, each patient receives 200 – 300 million stem cells. The quantity of the stem cells not only covers daily losses but exceeds them a million times. Thus, the source of the stem cells which is practically lost for the last 15 – 20 years, is recovered and restored. After our stem cell infusion, various organs get rejuvenated, and they get renewed because the new and active stem cells completely replace the old and damaged ones.

FAQ's -

There is no effective treatment as such for optic atrophy in traditional medicine. Once the nerve fibers in the optic nerve are lost, they never heal or grow back. However, early diagnosis and treatment of the underlying causes of optic atrophy can help prevent further damage from the disease.

Optic nerve atrophy is estimated to affect 1 in 35,000 people worldwide. This condition is more common in Denmark, where it affects approximately 1 in 10,000 people.

Optic Nerve Atrophy (ONA) is a permanent vision worsening by damage caused to the optic nerve. The optic nerve fiber functions as a cable carrying information from the eye to be processed by the brain. It can affect one or both eyes. It may also be progressive, depending on the cause.

Vision loss due to optic nerve damage cannot be recovered, it may be stopped, but it cannot improve. The glaucoma research foundation estimates 60 million cases of people worldwide, experiencing vision loss due to glaucoma, a type of optic nerve damage.

Most people with ON will have partial to complete vision recovery within 6 to 12 months. After that, healing rates decrease and the damage is more permanent. Even with functional vision recovery, many will still have a varying amount of damage to their optic nerve.

Optic nerve regeneration is possible in some patients. In mammals, it has been shown that retinal ganglionic cells, when put under certain conditions found in the peripheral nervous system, can successfully regenerate their axons with the help of stem cell therapy.
