Stem Cell Therapy For Rod And Cone Dystrophy In Dubai
Rod and Cone Dystrophy: What Patients from Dubai Should Know First
Patients from Dubai contacting us about this condition often bring genetic testing or diagnostic records from their country of origin or prior residence, since the UAE's patient population is so international. Piecing together a full progression picture from records made in different countries, sometimes years apart, is a routine part of reviewing these cases.
What makes this condition tricky to generalise about: "Rod-cone dystrophy" covers a range of genetic subtypes with different progression speeds and patterns. A patient diagnosed in their teens with a slow-progressing form is a very different case from someone with rapid, early-onset loss.
What We Ask You to Send First
- OCT scan showing photoreceptor layer status
- ERG results — particularly useful since it distinguishes rod vs. cone involvement
- Genetic test results, from wherever they were done
- Visual field test report
If Your Diagnosis Spans More Than One Country
Send everything you have, even if reports are in different formats or from different healthcare systems — this is common among our Dubai-based patients and doesn't slow down the review as much as you might expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
My genetic testing was done before I moved to Dubai — is that still useful?
Yes — send it alongside current imaging; older genetic results remain relevant regardless of where they were done.
Will this restore my night vision?
We can’t promise that for any individual patient — we assess case by case.
Is this a recognised treatment here in the UAE?
Not as a standard local pathway — most patients researching this look at specialist options abroad.
