Stem cell therapy for Retinitis Pigmentosa in the UAE: a second opinion built on your existing reports
Patients in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Al Ain usually have access to excellent eye hospitals, and often arrive with detailed reports and open questions about stem cell therapy. This page explains what the research shows and how Eye Stem Cell Center in India offers a second opinion.
Understanding Retinitis Pigmentosa in the UAE
RP is a group of inherited conditions in which the rod and cone cells of the retina gradually break down. Night vision fades first, side vision narrows later, and the speed differs from one person to another.
The UAE is home to families from many countries, so inheritance patterns, languages and earlier medical records can vary widely. Bringing reports from every country where you have been examined gives our doctors a fuller picture.
Reports that help us advise you
Most UAE patients already have these. Send what you have.
- ERG printoutThe most useful single test. The original printout is best.
- OCT scansShow the retinal layers in both eyes.
- Visual field resultsShow how side vision has changed between visits.
- Hospital summaryLetters from your UAE retina specialist, sent as they are.
- Genetic reportIf testing was done, it may show the gene and inheritance pattern.
Where stem cell therapy fits
It is experimental, and your local specialist remains central to your care.
What research explores
Whether stem cell approaches can support surviving retinal cells and slow loss.
What is not proven
No stem cell treatment is approved as a cure for RP anywhere.
Ask your UAE ophthalmologist
They know local regulations and can advise how experimental therapy fits your care.
Insurance
Experimental therapy is often not covered, so ask your insurer before planning.
