Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH) Treatment: A Promising Future with Stem Cell Treatment

Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH) is an infra orbital pathway that connects the eye to the brain through optic nerve which has been found to be affected by a disease. ONH persons have an abnormally developed optic nerve, and depending on the severity of the condition, the individual may experience partial or complete vision loss. The condition may also be linked with other neurological problems, and therefore as a condition, it presents a lot of challenges in its management.

At Eyestemcellcenter, we use stem cell therapy for ONH patients so they can get a better quality of life with a better vision.

Optic Nerve Hypoplasia: What is it?

Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH) is a condition which occurs when the optic nerve fails to grow properly in the womb. Due to this underdevelopment there is reduced development of optic nerve fibres, which automatically affects the capacity to handle and process information. This disease occurs in either one or both eyes and may present symptoms that include total loss of vision, or blurred vision. The disease is amongst the leading causes of vision loss in children across the world. Despite the fact that the cause of ONH may not always be known, it is always caused by genetic predispositions, prenatal exposure to infections or toxins, and certain syndromes. Usually, ONH is diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood; however, the outcomes of the disease can persist for many years and are non- reversible

Optic Nerve Hypoplasia: A Clinical Reality for Stem Cell Therapy

Based on the developments in stem cell therapy, , optineurin-associated diseases, including ONH, can be treated using stem cell therapy. Stem cell treatment differs from other methods of handling the disease since its primary goal is reparative, filling the damaged optic nerve tissue’s vacancies, and causing it to work again. At Eyestemcellcenter, we have advanced stem cell therapy that focuses on the rehabilitation of the optic nerve and may bring about vision enhancement. As you may know, stem cells are the perfect cells and due to their properties they can be changed into other types of cells, including nerve cells. With proper guidelines stem cells hold the potential for nerve tissue remodelling and repairing the damaged optic nerve fibres. Such process can help regain some vision in ONH sufferers especially if the optic nerve does not deteriorate all the way to its extreme end. The course of the treatment includes obtaining stem cells from the patient’s body (autologous stem cells) or receive cells from a third party. These cells are then taken and then re-injected back into the optic nerve area using very precisely controlled injections. Stem cells rely on differentiation into a new repertoire of optic nerve fibers coupled with the repair of affected tissue and organ, to bring about an opportunity of improved nerve functionality and vision. Also, spreading stem cells can be effective in decreasing inflammation and from all other aspects, promoting the healing of the optic nerve. Stem cell treatment has been proved in clinical research to have a potential to halt or reverse the deterioration of the optic nerve thereby leading to improved visual clarity, ability to distinguish between colours and depth perception respectively.
