There is no specific timing for stem cell treatment; but like many other neurological conditions, we generally recommend seeking stem cell therapy early after diagnosis. This is because the earlier the stem cell intervention, the easier it is to prevent further damage of the present cells and to be able to restore normal retinal or eye functioning before permanent damage – or involvement of the fovea – takes place. We still need to report that clinical benefit is not 100% guaranteed as is the case with any intervention, and consulting our specialists prior to undergoing the procedure is of utmost importance in order to gain more insight on the procedure and the estimated possibility of treatment success for your individual case.
