What is Stem Cell Treatment for Macular Degeneration?

What is Macular Degeneration?

Macular Degeneration or Age-related Macular Degenerations is an optic condition attributable in deterioration of the central area in retinal tissue called ‘Macula’. Macula in the eye controls the visual acuity and its health is directly proportional to the human ability of performing visual tasks that require human eye to see precise details like recognizing faces, driving, reading, using a phone or computer, etc.

Effect of Macular Degeneration on human eye

Macular Degeneration or Age-related macular degeneration to human eye is a deterioration of Macula causing a relatively slow and painless but a continuous loss of vision over a course of several years. Although macular degeneration is almost never a totally blinding condition, it could be the source of significant visual disability. Early signs of vision loss from AMD include shadowy areas in your central vision or unusually fuzzy or distorted vision.

Causes of Macular degeneration

Macular degeneration usually is an age-related condition; however, it sometimes is associated to the genetic imbalance. Researches have confirmed there’s an association between the Age-related macular degeneration and the presence of certain variant of a gene referred to as complement factor F or CFH. Apart from CFH, there’s CFB that was found to be involved in the degeneration of the macula.

For Macular Degeneration as far as the conventional treatment methods are considered, there’s no possible cure for the Age-related Macular Degeneration. One could however look forward to certain methods of slowing down the progression of AMD, stem cell treatment is one of them. The method includes the injection of certain anti-VEGF or Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor medication that restrict the growth of new blood vessels by ensuring the optimum supply of oxygen and restricting the formation of oxygen-deprived cells.

Responsible factors for Macular Degeneration

Apart from the age, there’s various factors that can significantly increase the risk of Macular Degeneration, these factors include:

• Obesity: There’s almost twice the risk of AMD with the people having higher body weight when compared to the ones with normal body weight or less obesity.
• Smoking: Just as any other condition, smoking worsens the effect of macular degeneration.
• Sunlight: It’s suggested in the researches that continuous exposure to the sunlight may increase the risk of macular degeneration because of the impact of harmful UV rays.
• Diet: One of the most important factors is what you eat, studies suggest that it’s important to have the required amount of nutrition to lower the risk of AMD.

Stem Cell Treatment for Macular Degeneration

No conventional treatment can restore te vision whilst the condition of macular degeneration in the human eye. There may be a few answers when it comes to slowing down the continuous progression of degeneration of Macula but none of them appears to be helping in restoring the vision.

Stem Cells on the other hand are potentially able to replace the damaged cells deprived of oxygen and regenerating as the specialised cells resisting the formation of excess blood vessels and restoring the vision gradually. It doesn’t promise a 100% result but Stem Cell Treatment for Macular Degeneration is fairly effective when compared to conventional methods of treatment. The experts globally believe that currently Stem Cell Therapy is the most promising method of regenerating the damaged cells and the RPE layer that helps in resisting the continuous damage and restoring the vision. Stem Cell Therapy for Macular degeneration is the best chance of a patient to get the blurring vision restored.
