Stem Cell Treatment for ONH in Yemen: what science can and cannot do today
Many parents ask us about stem cells for ONH. This page offers an honest, kind explanation based on the current state of research.
A different kind of problem
In ONH the optic nerve did not grow fully before birth. This is unlike an injury, where healthy tissue is lost later, and it makes repair much harder to achieve.
Scientists are investigating how nerve cells might be grown and guided to the brain, but this work is still in the laboratory. No stem cell product is proven to rebuild an optic nerve in a child.
