NAION and Using Stem Cell Treatment to Restore the Optic Nerve

Posted By Patient Letter to the Editor On March 10, 2010 @ 11:21 am In Diabetes,Optic Nerve,Patient Questions,Stem Cell Therapies | Comments Disabled

I have non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) due to an ulcer that bled and dropped by hemoglobin and my blood pressure dropped. I have high cholesterol and high Triglycerides and border line to diabetes. I am legally blind. Can stem cell treatment help restore the optic nerve?
