great lecture, it's a complex topic but the doctor explained it simply, I really enjoyed it, especially the last part and the way he answered the questions! he is a real expert!

I have lipus and it damaged my optic nerves and left me legally blind. What would be my best treatment? [e-mail]

[@Geroscientist]

The most promising RPE cell therapy for dry AMD (GA) in clinical trials right now is OpRegen. Multiple cases of retinal regeneration in their Ph2 trial...

We are in May 2024, 4 years later, do we know how the cure is going?

[@mallptube]

jCyte earlier this year published very encouraging results for their phase 2b RP study . They have stated that they expect to start a phase 3 trial in 2021. ReNeuron have published encouraging results from their RP phase 2a study and are currently undertaking an extension to confirm their early findings. If efficacy is confirmed, they expect to start a phase 3 in 2022.

Hello, I'm from north Texas and i struggle from RP. I would like to know if there's any clinical trials going on here??

Can you pls update me if stem cell treatment available for microphthalmia

[@josephmarkcaruana603]

Had a brain tumor back in 2000, ended up with tunnel vision since my eye nerve cells got damaged. Can this regenerate my cut optical nerves and restore my lost vision?

[@Engineer_With_A_Life]

Will this help people with retina detachment?

[@innervisionfm1240]

I have Steven Johnson syndrome, after 14 operations my retina partially detached, but I still have internal light memory I live in Denver Colorado how can I find out about this for my condition?

[@tonydias6550]

I've had papillopathy in both eyes due to diabetes. IS there any research done with stems cells to regenerate the damage to optic nerve?

[@jaguscikm]

Hi. What about retinal detacments? Isstem cells therapies could eventually help people with such retinal destruction? I had series of accidents mote than 20 years ago, and now I can barelly see with only one eye. Second almost blind (right diagnose came too late to reattach take a good result). I barelly can read and I am 40 years old. I am terrified that soon i will loose my job.

[@GM-iz6wx]

Any response?

[@kurdtools9640]

So my daughter have rop5 reattached retina but non active

[@punamthakur671]

Sir can cure rp by stem cell therepy

[@chandanmukherjee4098]

Whether by Stem cell therapy scar in retina curable.?

[@Bishop472]

Hi.i have a rare eye condition called choroideremia and was recently told that gene therapy would not help me due to my vision being too far gone and that the only hope for me is stem cell therapy or maybe even a retna transplant. I am completely blind in my right eye due to my retna detaching itself from my eye and breaking in two pieces. My left eye I can see very little. What I see is like looking through a straw.im not sure where to turn for help. Can anyone please let help me find the proper help. Please.

I wonder how he feels about the “leader” of our country now…

[@ednichol7419]

Study the Q Cycle also. The key supplement is Ubiquinol of the Ubiquinol/Ubiquinone pairing. Results are dose related. If you do extensive study you may realize that no one gives quite the same information. Therefore: Ubiquinol decreases with age, it is fat soluble which means that it goes with fat fuels to wherever your body is active, and active muscles may scavenge critical amounts of this nutrient from non aggressive parts of your body such as hair, digestive tract, nerves, eyes, etc.

[@BAbraham7]

Ubiquinol is good for vision correction?

[@ednichol7419]

The best description of Ubiquinol is that it is a 'electron manager' rather than an anti-oxidant. It functions immediately next to ATP production. Note that ATP production is not well regulated and it is easy for over production and resulting damage from free electrons. Ubiquinol holds and releases that electron safely.

[@Geroscientist]

The most promising 'stem cell' therapy for dry AMD (GA) in clinical trials right now is OpRegen. Multiple cases of retinal regeneration in their Ph2 trial - the data speaks for itself! Not ready for human use just yet though...

Dear sir, I am hamid, I have a cousin named zabi, he used to drink home made alchols composed of methanol, he went to coma after a hearth attack we took him to hospital, doctors saved his life, but he lost his vision, doctors say his visionary neorons connecting his eye vision to his brain is damaged due to methanol poisoning ingestion, he before lost his right hand in bomb, and before going blind, he lost his son in a suicidal bomblast and lost his doughter in an electric shock, he many times tried to suicide after going blind, he used to help people for free in many problems he had a big hearth, now stil he drinks his own home made wine, and uses cigars to kill his tensions, he is very poor his wife goes to school makes very less money for teaching his life, he tried many times bleed his eye to gain his vision back, went to many mosques prayed,, he will be very happy if any new technology invented in 2020 so he can gain his vision back, he every day attempts to suicide,, in islamic states doctors don't cure you of methanol or wine poisoning they say it's order of god not to drink wine, and they don't take ur case serious and so is there any new pill or a new technique to obtain his vision back he went blind in 2016 he is 50 years old. I will be very thankfull if there is any way for reviving his vision. regards hamid from afghanistan kabul [phone] [e-mail] vision loss of methanol wine I heard of a tech that u can see 10 feets far, and studied hemodialysis, when he went blind doctorcs hemodialysed him, and gave him ethyl and he took tablets but he could avail his vision back but never got vision. waiting for ur reply badly, If there is any tech i will try to make money and help him

Much closer than you think. I've had stem cell therapy for macular due to infection. Reversed by 30 percent and these stem cells that helped me aren't even the best ones
