Stem Cell Treatment for ARMD in Nigeria: eligibility, timeline and aftercare
If you are thinking about stem cell treatment for ARMD, this page explains who may be eligible, how the timeline works and who looks after you afterwards.
Eligibility comes first
Not every person with ARMD is a candidate for any research-based treatment. Eyes that still respond well to injections, or those with very advanced scarring, are usually better managed in other ways.
We begin with your records and decide together whether further steps make sense. If they do not, we will say so clearly.
A typical timeline

- Week one: records reviewYou send scans and reports for specialist reading.
- Week two: discussionA call explains findings and options.
- Decision periodYou and your family consider the information.
- Visit if advisedTravel, tests and consultation at the centre.
- After the visitFollow-up plan with your local doctor.
