Fight Aging!

I totally believe the body is capable of healing itself; that this is what is most "natural." The research process described here fits...makes perfect sense. It sounds perfectly natural that nerve fibers would be capable of "...navigating to the proper visual centers...make connections with other neurons..." At a conference on spinal cord injury, I was once told that nerve fibers, once disconnected, would be difficult to be reconnected by doctors or scientists. I do not understand why it would not be natural that they find each other on their own (and properly re-connect).

I suffer from AION on both eyes with a vision of only approx 15 - 20% on each eye left. I am most interested do get to know more about such studies and would most probably attend a study.
If you know more and of possible treatments, please get in contact. Thanks ans best regards from Swityerland, Hans-Joerg

I also suffer from optic nerve damage in both eyes. I am down to about 30% vision. I would also happily volunteer in any test panels. Please contact me.

I am blind in both eyes from injury to optic nerve suffered in a plane crash. Am interested in volunteering in any test panels. Would also like any information on any stem cell research or clinical treatment.

Hi I'm blind from tumour in my brain very willing to volunteer life is a dark world want info how to get started stem cell etc please give me details Thank you

Hi, My brother had a head injury that left him blind 2 years ago. The nerves in his left eye were damaged, but his eyeball is intact. He lost his right eyeball, but the nerves on that side were not damages. We are interested in volunteering for trials and getting information on treatment options. Thanks!

Hi, I am interested in research on Optic Nerve Regeneration.

Four years ago my wife suffered a heart attack and underwent by-pass surgery, afterwards she lost her vision in both eyes. We were told her optic nerved are dead due to a loss of blood pressure during surgery. We are interested in information on stem cell research, testing and/or clinical treatments that may be out there.

For pointers on researching participation in trials and the availability of therapies, you folk might take a look at this post from the archives:

https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2004/11/researching-therapies-and-participation-in-trials.php

My uncle total lost vision in both eyes 10 days ago. It happened over the last several months as a result of lack of oxygen to the optic nerves. He was told it's a side effect of whole brain radiation performed over a year ago. He is otherwise in great health and beating the cancer for 3 years. He is interested in any clinical trials or information regarding optic nerve regeneration via stem cells or otherwise. Any information is greatly appreciated.

My 25 year old son is recovering from TBI that happened 6 months ago today. one of his biggest issues is that because of prolonged ICP pressures both of his optic nerves received damage. also because of a siesure he experienced a brain herniation which has damaged his occipital lobe as well. he is currently blind. my hope is that through contact in the world he has now entered that when the time is at hand when answers are found that he and the rest of those suffering will be able to have the miracle of sight restored once again.

My 15 year old son sustained a TBI 1.5 years ago. Both optic nerves are damaged and he is now blind. We are searching for answers to help him and others like him enjoy the miracle of sight. Any information is appreciated. Thank you!

My nephew suffered a stroke in December, 2012, which left him with severe vision impairment. Any trial that could restore some of his vision would be a godsend.

Hello, i have optic nerve atrophy, i lost vision to 30%, want to know, how can i get my vision back, is possible to treatment optic nerve?
Rally thanks for answer.

Best regards.

lost eyesight in right eye 25 years ago due to optic nerve damage would be interested to find out about stem cell treatment

Does anybody know about stem cells working on optic nerve hypoplasia? My daughter has it but I heard this works.

I lost my eye sight in both eyes after caterac surgery. I have been blind for almost 10 years. I am interested in any procedure that could help regenerate my optic nerve. Stem Cell or some type of transplant would be great as long as I can see again. please respond to this message, I know there is alot of advancements and research done for the wounded solders, perhaps I could be included in one of these programs. Thank you. Elvira

Hi,
My brother has MS and he has lost left eye vision 5 months ago because of optic neuropathy. He would like to volunteer any clinical trial on optic nerve regeneration.

Wow... As one who was born with optic nerve hypoplasia (the nerve just didn't develop fully) and nystagmus, I would LOVE for this research to go further. And like so many people before me have said, please, sign me up! I have about 20/400 vision all together (approx 20/250 in one, and 20/400 in the other), and as an artist.. a performer.. yeah.. this could do -tons- of good. Thanks so much for the hope, guys. And for all the work w/the research. ♥♥

I lost vision through my left eye completely in Oct-2005 pakistan earthquake. However, here in pakistan most doctors believe (after examining my eye) that I had no vision through my left eye from my childhood which is not at all the case!!! I was 6/6 from both my eyes and was hit by something and my eye had swell a lot with no movement of eyeball. however i regained movement of my eyeball after sometime but now have a little squint but total BLACK vision from that eye. I would be interested to have followup for such studies. what place should I keep looking for, for such researches?

33yo pilot now unemployed due to optic neuritis and the optic nerve damage that followed.
Ready to do a lot of things to fight for my vision, money not a issue.

Lost about 75% of my sight in right eye after vitreous hemmorhage surgery. Presuure build up damaged the optic nerve. Can still see color, but have very, very little clarity. It is as if a piece of crumpled dark gray wax paper is in front of my line of sight. I would LOVE to be included in a stem cell clinical trial to see if the optic nerve could be brought back to the point that I could see again. I SO miss being able to see. Please contact me if I can be added to a clinical trial list.

Hi, my husband lost his vision from his left eye during a head injury. Doctors said that his optic nerve is damaged but not disconnected. Please tell me if there is any cure or give me advised. Thank you

Hello. My father had got bacterial spinal meningitis back in 2001 and had ran a temperature of 106 and went into a coma for 2 weeks. When he came to he was completely blind. After he got out of ICU and out of the hospital we took him to an Eye Institute in Oklahoma City, and the doctor said that his optic nerve was grey and it was supposed to be pink. We are very interested in any surgery, or procedure that may help to restore his sight. Please help us!!

I HAVE ARTIE KNOW RIGHT DIAGNOSED BY MANY OPHTHALMOLOGIST WITH NO MEDICAL REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN THEY ARE NOW SAYING IT IS COXSWAIN RELATED. I HAVE EXTREMELY LOW VISION INTO A VISION SPECIALIST GAVE ME SOME GLASSES TO TRY AND BRING MY EYES DOWN TO A 2400 AND IT ACTUALLY DID NOT WORK. I HAVE ALSO TALK TO HIS DOCTOR ABOUT FETAL STEM CELLS AND HE THINKS IT WILL WORK TO HELP TO REGENERATE MY OPTIC NERVE BUT NO GUARANTEES. IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN ADVISE ME OF RA STUDY OR ANYTHING AT ALL PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS

hi my son lost his vesion one year back due to injury in his eye.. now doctors say that his optic nerve is demage. and eye is also setting down . is there any change to repair it

My son age 35 years has lost sight from both of his eyes. At early age he was operated at Shankar netaralaya chennai and surgery was carried out. For some time it worked well but later again he landed into problems. 2nd time surgery was carried out at LV at Hyderabad but was not successful. Now he has no vision and he is totally dependent. The other complication are that he is not developed mentally fully. The point I carry all these years is whether he can be given eye sight. As per the report the nerve cells got calcification and are not in good health. If some body from eye surgeon fraternity can tell me whether in such cases any type of treatments are available in India.
Thanks

My dad has a detached retina with a dead nerve in his right eye and he recently had a stroke which made him lose vision in his left eye. He is blind in both eyes. We are willing to try anything. Please let me know if there is anything we can do.

My son has optic nerve damage he was diagnosed with Lhon with a blood test is there any help he ca receive please help him

My son had a car accident two years ago in which he lost his right eye - still intact but dead. His left eye has good pressure but no one can tell us why he cannot see out of this eye - this accident has left him 100% blind - no light perception at all. Not a day goes by that i am not looking someone for research being done. Please HELP me find something that would help. He cannot have an MRI as he lost most of his face and was replaced with ribs and steel.

Please send me more information. I would really like to be included in any study that may be in the works. Thank You JP

Optic nerve damage due to benign tumor was totally blind, after stem cell
treatments in China, I got light vision and some color and form vision back.
It was a relief to know that it can happen. I know of others who got back their vision from various issues. Please put me on your clinical trials list.

Thank you, Cary

I lost 50% of my vision from optic neuritis due to MS when i was 14 years old. I am now almost 23 and my one and only dream is to see the world clearly again. I would love to drive and be independent and would love to take my 2 beautiful girls to the park and let them run around more than 10 ft away from me and still be able to keep an eye on them. I hope this treatment really starts soon to help out all who are visually impaired. This is a BEAUTIFUL world! It would be an honor for those like me to be able to actually see it. Thanks for your hard work!

Hi,
I had a car accident and lost a lot of vision in my one eye. Now slowly it is recovering but still a long way to go. Doctors say my optic nerve is damaged due to internal bleeding done by accident. I was in comma for two weeks and had 2 brain surgeries. Is there any way this can be treated???
Please let me know

I too suffer from NANION and have roughly 40% vision remaining in one eye. I too would willingly participate in any panels or trials.

I have AION lost about 75% of the vision in the left eye. I would be willing to participate in any trial or anything related to this issue. As you all know and understand it is extremely frustrating as what ever vision is left is screwing up the good vision in the good eye. I have thought about seeing what can be done by killing the nerve completely.

My Wife lost sight after Breast cancer. Nurses were told to watch blood pressure and didn't .They were told to let DR. know if it went below 60 but let it go to 30 for 15 hours killing the Optic Nurve.If any test are avalible please let Me know. God Bless.

My sons friend was injured in a hunting accident he was shot by a shot gun they removed on eye completely he now has a glass eye the other eye ball was damaged at the optical nerve and has developed a film over it the doctor said the film is very thick and more than Likely he will never see again what are the chances that this that this can be fixed . He's only 15 years old

My wife is legally blind in both eyes and her optic nerve is degenerating at a rapid pace. She was damaged during an operation of a brain tumor in the super sella region. Underwent 16 weeks of the gamma knife after an unsuccessful and invasive Craniotomy. She now suffers with cluster headaches and extreme sight degeneration from the nerve damage. We would like any information you can provide on the opening of trials for regeneration of the optic nerve. Thank you for all that you do, Steve Ragan

i was diagnosed with naion an optic nerve stroke, in sept 2013, @ am desperate to try anything that will restore my eye sight thank you

I am curious to if anymore studies have taken place since this article was published. I was blinded in my left eye due to optic nerve damage from blunt force trauma. Thank you in advance.

I have thinning of optic nerve and must use eye drops to keep it from
thinning further. I take Alphagan P drops every 12 hours to keep eye
pressures down. I hope that information might help someone else.
God Bless all of you for trying to curb loss of vision.

please do not make my e-mail address public !!!

Hi, I almost lost vision in my left eye (below 10/100) due to untreated glaucoma. I did not pay attention to very increased IOP (eye pressure) in my left eye until my vision has started to be blurred. Then doctors diagnosed glaucoma and I refused to undertake a classic surgery (laser surgery is inappropriate for my type of open-angle glaucoma). Paradoxically, I have managed to decrease IOP down to normal values (around 20) in my damaged eye by combination of eye drops and home-made eye drops based on natural ingredients (plants and hot/cayenne pepper). However, my vision cannot be restored unless my optic nerve damage is eventually repaired. Therefore, I am also very interested to participate in the trials. Thanks

I am blinded in my left eye due to an injury to my face. I would be interested in any study relating to optic nerve regeneration.
Best regards

Dears,
MY brother have an car accident since one year ago, and he lost his left eye, while for right eye it is still exist but his optic nerve is partially damaged and also retina as well is very thin, we want to help him and make him regain his sight much better in the right eyes, thanks to tell us any doctor have experience or any hospital who can make such advanced diagnoses to know why his vision is slightly decreasing day by day.

Any remedies to repair cure reverse or improve optic nerve damage has anyone found anything that works to improve cure repair optic nerve damage

Hi.My beautiful 7 year old son damaged his optic nerve in an accident when he was 2.He has been blind in his left eye since then.Ofcourse I would like him to be cured ASAP, but my ex husband refuses to use him in any studies.I have 20/20 vision with no "problems" & pretty hazel eyes.If you need a healthy, live, donor eye, I'd gladly give you one of mine if you could restore my sons vision.Any new info would help.Thank you.

My beautiful brave 9yr old daughter has an extremely rare bone disease in her skull, she has only just lost the sight in her right eye due to this. We were offered emergency de-compression surgery to take strain off the optic nerve but were informed it would not help her vision and the operation itself was alot for a 9yr old for the outcome to be the same in the end! Opthalmologist states she has healthy optic nerve and eye but just the slight compression to her nerve as caused her blindness. She has the bone disease around her left eye but not sure when she will loose the vision and trying out a drug to delay the abnormal bone growth compressing, the inevitable will happen in her left eye just don't know when as disease is so erratic. Please please please help with optic nerve regeneration, i can't speak for my daughter but i know she would want to try anything to at least keep one eye with vision....A child should never have to loose their eye sight, it must be the most scariest thing in the world, i know i am terrified for her and struggling to accept this.

Please give me any further information concerning regeneration of the optic nerve. My son is 21 and when he was 14 he had a tbi and has no sight in either eye. Looking for anything to help restore his sight

My wife (67 years) underwent multiple surgeries e.g Radial Keratotomy resulting in Retinal detachment in both eyes which was successfully corrected by surgery. Subsequently underwent eye muscle surgery to fix double vision, followed by cataract surgery. She developed AMD in right eye which was fixed by single injection of AVASTIN. Six years ago she was diagnosed to have glaucoma. Her IOP could not be controlled well due to her being allergic to many eyedrops. She underwent Trabuctome surgery in one eye 9 months ago which made it worse.
In the past 6 months she kept loosing her vision and field sharply. Now she is legally blind with visual acuity 20/200 , 20/150. She has a Ahmed valve implanted in one eye 4 months ago which is able to control pressure. She is due for similar implant in the other eye in 2 weeks.
I wish her damaged optic nerves could be regenerated. We are devastated.

Please send any information on optic nerve regeneration. I have been blind for the past 19 years due to a gunshot wound. I would like to be involved with any research. Thanks

I hv damage in optic nerve cell give me idea to recover it.

I have a brother who lost is 2 eyes last January 29, 2015, with gunshots on the head. he Lost his vision and the doctor who operated told me that his optic nerve was affected and cant see. If there are some posibilities that he can see again I am willing to donate my left eye just for him to see. I love my brother so much so please include us for stem cell studies. Thank you

The first of January of 2014 I was hit with sever I pain and found out that I have Optic Neuritis. I did the 3 days IV and 11 days oral steroids and still did not gain the sight back. They are keeping me under close observation. I have all the signs of MS but my spinal fluid is at this point is still clear. The MRI they did shows 8-12 lesions about 5-8 mm in size. I have had 2 MRIs over the past year since and the lesions have not changed.

My 16 year old son suffers from optic neuritis due to Pseudotumor Cerebri diagnosed when he was 13 years old. He has had major improvement in his eyesight as he has gotten older but I would like to know more about regeneration of his optic nerves. Please contact me with updates. I am his mom and am also a trauma nurse! Happy researching!!!

My husband had NAION in his right eye. After 3 months his left eye also got infected. He has about 16 percent vision left in both the eyes. PLEASE HELP.

Hi,

Im a 25 y/o female with NO sight in my left eye from birth. Was told when I was 3 that my optic nerve wasn't attached and that I was completely blind. My grandad before he passed away looked day in and day out for treatments to see if I could get sight in my left eye. But 3 years ago, I was left to look by myself as he sadly passed away.

I am interested in information in regards to having optic nerve reattachment etc and I would like some information/updates when it is relevant.

Good luck with the research and keep us updated!!

Hi! I am suffering for blindness 1 year ago. I involved in a motor cycle accident last March 09,2014.

Pls.Rply. As soon possible

Hi, My son is 4 years old. Been struggling with his left eye since he was 8 months. Dr confirmed after a MRI that his left eye optic nerve is 1.6mm and his right eye 4mm. He also have optic neuritis. He is loosing vision rapidly. If there is any way to reverse this or stem cell treatment or regeneration of nerve please inform me.

my optic nerve was cutduring an opperation to remove a benign tumour back in 1971 can it be rejoined ?

My cousin's left eye was born amblyopia and can hardly see anything. Recently, during an accident, the optic nerve of his right eye was damaged, leaving both eyes very limited vision. We are interested in any infomation that can help to restore his optic nerve and vision. Thanks!

My Dad is quickly losing his vision, possibly due to a stroke and TIA's that he's had. Please contact us if you need someone for test panels. Any info on repairing and healing the optic nerve is appreciated.
Thanks!

My dad lost his vision in an operation which was carried out when he was 6 months old..! His optic nerves are damaged and he s totally blind..! Any proceedings in this research is appreciable.. I m posting this comment in tears.. I want my dad to see this beautiful world.. I want him to see me, my brother and mother.. :( please update me with d progress of d research... Thank you.

Hi i have NAION in both eyes. I can only see 10 to 15percent. Is there any Way fir improvement by any means. Thanks. Regards Jeet

I lost left eye vision in November 2013. Subsequently staph infection and cancer have been issues under care. Opthamologists surmise optic nerve to right eye is dead due to a minor stroke or related to MS I had in the 80s and which may have exacerbated. Would like to know of means that lead to regeneration of a the optic nerve, or stem cell research that supports the effort successfully.

Hi in June 2012 I suffered with abcesses on the brain which has left me with a few different problems I have now been registered blind in my left eye and low feild of vision in my right eye i have been told this is due to optic nerve damage is there any since my illness I am unable to drive this is miss due to me and my small family have no independence I really want to start driving again is there any treatment that can be done to repair the optic nerve

My mother has lost her vision through glaucoma. Please could we have information on stem cell trials that will be done in Africa, we are in Zimbabwe.

I lost my Vision in my left eye, in April 2008 when i had a motorbike accident..looking every where for solution.

Regards,

Ahmed Benson.

09August2013 i had met with road accident on motorbike. I had injury on my left eye and after having MRI report i came to know that i am suffering from multiple small hemorrhages around the optic nerves in medical language (Post traumatic optic nerve atrophy).
2) Next to that i had undergone with endoscopy surgery to decompress the optic nerve.
3) But still i am not recovered yet, i have only vision in one eye i.e right eye my left eye not responding to any kind of light.
For your information: I am taking neurobin forte.
Plz. suggest how i can recover from my ailment or what can i do for betterment.

I would like to know if there has been any research going on in the case of NAION as i have only 5%vision left in both my eyes.

My son lost his sight 2 years ago after a life threatening situation. Doctors have said blood pressure went to parts of his body to keep him alive and no blood went to his optic nerves so they both died. He would be glad to be a part of any research that would be beneficial in the regeneration of the optic nerves. If anyone has information in this regard, please sent me an email. Thank you.

My mom had 2 optic neuropathies, one in each eye, 30 days apart. She has been legally blind for 3 years now but in the last 6 months what little vision she has left is rapidly fading. It breaks my heart to see her so sad and desperate for any light. Her fear of permanent darkness is more than I can bear. I am very interested in any type of research or test studies she may be able to do. I have a son with cerebral palsy so I a very interested in testing stem cell transplants for both of them. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I am a 47 woman with acute neuro optic neuritis. I have vision loss in left eye. Drs believe from an unknown auto-immune disease. I believe My immune was compromised through a bout of meningitis encephalitis I had 1997. Since 1997 nasal vision loss with minor flair ups over the last 17 yrs. I live in Boston and would love to know about any research or stem cell I could participate in. Please contact me.

My Mother,46 year, having diabetes for three years, feels unable to read news paper lowlines about 6 months ago after removal of uterus due to fibroid,then she used spects of my father. About 2.5 months ago she feel slight 'dhundhlapan'(may be burl)in left eye only one time, apprx one month ago i have lost my left eye vision pain less within 10-15 days after it from 27/09/2015,, i have been given 5 steroids inj after then on oral steroids 60 mg withtaper by 20-20 mg for three days. after three days of steroid inj loss of vision in right eye with eyeache started and stopped at 3/60 within 4-5 days, when detereoration started in rt eye i have admitted in neurology AIIMS delhi where csf WAS NORMAL-pressure not more than 20, no cancer, NMO negative, mri orbit and brain -normal, with vision is 6/60 in right and 3/60 in left, they discharged us on continuation of 60 mg oral wysolone once a day with no cause found after taken the opinion of neuro opthalmolist who commented as 'No disc edema' on paper whille said to us as swelling in optic nurve. On repetion his comment was same on paper and said to us that swelling is as it is.
M'am after discharge, my mother feel 'dhundhlapan' (may be burl) in both eye which disappears in night. She had no vomiting,BP,headeche.

Now dr. Is of opinion that her nerves are dead. If it gets alive she can restore her vision back. I am ready to do anything for restoring her vision. I am interested in stem cell reaserch. Pl do contact me urgently.

This article is dated back in 2012. Just wondering if there are any updates from this study. Any new information or results? Always searching for my daughter whose brain tumor damaged her optic nerves almost a year ago leaving her blind.

My boyfriend lost his sight about 4 years ago from a tumor he describes in layman terms as a "liquid tumor". After surgical removal of the tumor he experienced violent seizures, which have now stopped. He did regain some of his sight back. Not long after surgery he fell in his bathroom and lost all of his vision and has now been blind for four years. All who love him hate to see him suffer like this. Its mentally disturbing for him and all who love him. He has stated that he would participate in tests studies researches and procedures that would let him see again. His main desire is to see the faces of his children in any light stream or trickle of vision. Please contact me if our story makes him a candidate for any type of help. In addition this seems to be a possibly heridatary in his family. His mom now has a small brain tumor and he has a nephew that has had eye surgery because at first he could only see out of certain areas of his eyes and had to tilt his head to focus. He is ok after surgery. My boyfriend is no where near ok, please help

My 1 year old son is blind and he was not born blind we were involved in a terrible car accident when he was 3 months now I can see that he doesn't see well, what hurts me the most is that I don't have money to go see doctor about i really don't know what to do.

I don't think I have much of a right to post here, as many cases I have read are worse than mine and the people have suffered longer. Six weeks ago, I was a passenger who wasn't wearing a seatbelt in a vehicle being driven by someone I'd only met once before who was intoxicated and ran a red light. I don't remember leaving where we came from so I don't know what my head hit, as I broke my skull in two places and needed emergency surgery. Two small pieces of bone were lying against my left optic nerve. They didn't tear it but rubbed against it enough to lose 90-95% of my sight. I can't see light, even the sun, or tell if it's my mom or my son in front of me. I can see faint shapes of things and my sight is as if someone took a photograph and rubbed charcoal over it. Having only happened a short time ago, I'm still learning to be a one-eyed person...which is a blessing compared to some of the stories here and what COULD have happened to me in my accident. I hope there will quickly be progress made in the battle to restore peoples' eyesight. Good luck and best wishes to all who are praying for the same miracles.

My son's right eye vision was affected and when he did an MRI scan, we were shocked to be informed that a 3.7cm tumor compressed his optic nerve and damaged most of his right eye vision. He was 14 last year when he did his operation to remove the tumor. Later the doctor told us it was craniopharyngioma. But they can't revive his eye sight so he is left with one eye. Doctor said his right eye optic nerve is pale and pinkish which we pray and hope it may still be possible to revive the optic nerves.

Please contact me as I see no follow up to your original post and would like to learn more. Thank you

Hi researchers, i have a brother that lost his vision on his right eye due to optic nerve damage.
Please let me know if there is any news on the optic nerve regeneration or where can we get help.
Thanks.

I have optic nerve damage (don't know why or how yet). I've seen numerous doctors at Johns Hopkins Univ Wilmer Eye Clinic and Univ of MD for the past 5 years. I am losing my vision and I'd like to find out how to stop this so I don't go blind. Please help.

Friends: I have a dear friend who suffered 80% blindness in both eyes following an ocular stroke 3 years ago. He reports that suddenly, he is now able to see 60% of his far right periphery field when he adjusts his eyes to the very far right.

Have any of you ever heard of this phenom?

Thank you.

Have normal tension glaucoma which is steadily progressing. Does anyone know of a doctor that is using nerve growth eye drops or any other treatments like stem cells? Any clinical trials I could apply for. Tx

Hello,

We have just been told the heartbreaking news that our daughter has glioma cancer that is treatable but has damaged her optic nerves and treatment could worsen her eyesight further. Obviously treatment comes
First, before thinking about improving her eyesight but it is helping me to think there is hope to improve my 2 1/2 year old daughter's eyesight. Is this something you could do or may be able to do in the future? Any words of Hope or areas you could lead me to would be most comforting. Many thanks, Rochelle

Hi my sister lost her eye sight coz of Tumor need a help x thanks

My dad who is 93 and lives on his own. His right eye optic nerve damaged due to a stork in 1985 . This eye is totally gone at this time. His left eye is able to see a tiny bit of light only.This is first cause by glaucoma end stage form . We have had the cornea worked on and had stints and meds on meds.My hope is the never can get some regeneration with stem cell therapy of some kind . My dad is old but he shouldn't have to live his remaining year blind and unhappy . His age should not be a factor in a study but a help to see if he can heal anyone should be able to. If a when a study is started I hope to add him to a list of people ready to get started.
I have a 5 year old grandson who I have just found out has a birth defect of his optic never also and can see light and dark only so this would be another good candidate at the other end of spectrum. Thank you

Hi,

Please tell the research progress on optic nerve regeneration, we are desperately looking for the positive outcome of this research so that my daughter can get back her vision which she lost due to meningitis in 2011 when she was 11 years old.
Please please include us also in tests or your research procedures.

Thanks

Hello guys,

I recently went to the Dr. I was told that I have 90% optic nerve damage. I'm 30. And I've had glaucoma since the age of (i don't know) 12, perhaps. I don't know how long 10% of optic nerves will last me. But I am totally scared. Having read your stories, I've decided to pray not only for myself but for everyone here. All of your stories have touched me and I am 100% supportive of OUR journeys. We are embarking on an unknown. Guys, I'm frightened beyond words. But its comments and questions and stories like yours that makes me have the courage to face this unknown. Lord willing, and if He allows me to maintain vision with this bit that I have left, I promise you and Him that I will work overtime in donating and bringing people in on this cause. I am praying for you all. God bless, and just keep telling everyone you know about this. Thanks

I had glaucoma surgery in both eyes in May, 2016. However, I had an eye stroke in the right eye in Sept,2016. That blind me in that eye. Please, I would desire to become part of a study to correct this and see again. I remember the surgeon saying at one of the OST visits tothat there's no blood flow on that eye. Also, please contact me if I can get some help to see - I am almost 67 yrs old.
Also, is there such thing as an eye implant. Thank you!

My husband of 65 has had some kind of trauma to his optic nerve when he was a young lad and we thought there was no treatment available, for his vision in the one eye he would be interested in any new treatment as he can only see through what he describes as a net curtain. Please keep us informed of any new treatments available as it would make a tremendous difference for him

My fiance suffered an optic nerve stroke in 2002 at the age of 21. In was/ is in terrific health. He is fully blind in his right eye since stroke. He is currently being treated for high pressure in eye reading at 38..he is on drops for glaucoma in hopes to decrease pressure ..also steroid drops and drops to help pain spasms. Due to corneal edema on top of issues they discussed today removing his eye Because of hemmorhaging that is not visible because of high pressure and blood settling. It's frustrating that eye removal is considered...we are desperate for another option as vision is not only concern. Always looking for information on further research of other options.

My husband diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy due to hydrocephallus and brain tumor. Now the tumor had been removed but his vision is not cure. Please suggest some treatment

My son was born with healthy eyes. At the age of 4, he complained about his left eye.
He said he can only see objects from the side. So we went and made an appointment with an eye specialist for him. At that appointment the Dr said he needs to go under anaesthetic to do further investigation.
The results the Dr gave us are that he can't seem to find anything wrong. He said my son has got a lazy eye. So we tried all the methods the Dr said to improve the laziness. That December my son came to me and told me he can't see anything out of his left eye. It was close to Christmas and so we had to wait till January for all the Dr's to open. After the second appointment in his surgery he said my son has to go under another anaesthetic. A few days later we were in the hospital again for further investigation.
Results time came and the Dr said he can't be sure but he thinks it might be his optic nerve but can't seem to find something wrong with the eye. According to him my son is supposed to have full vision.
After that appointment we never went back because the Dr said there is nothing he can do for my son at that time. My son just turned 7years of age and is complaining that his right eye that has great vision is starting to hurt and complains about soreness in and around the eye while in school and doing homework.
We made an appointment with a new eye specialist for the 14th of August (earliest appointment they've got), but I am so scared to go through this again. My son is scared of hospitals and even if we come near one he starts to vomit.
Please I need help or options we could consider.
Many Thanks
Tammy

My mother (60 years old ) became totally blind on post op day 3 craniotomy for a benign brain tumor. Pupils are non reactive to light 2 months since surgery. Doctors say it is likely related to swelling but after 2 months with no sight and non reactive pupils, hope seems less and less. Please consider her for this study!

I have right eye blindness since 2013, due to death of optic nerve either due to a minor stroke or multiple sclerosis I had in th 80s which maybe regressing.
Would like to know when there is an approved cure to resuscitate the optic nerve.
Thank you

My Husband was shot in the head during home invasion in May 2003. The bullet entered the head at the frontal lobe and is lodged in the rear of the brain.

This would be life changing for us all after 15 years. Just his sight.

Hello, i met with a car accident which caused traumatic optic neuropathy in my right eye. No vision or light perception after accident on 4th August 2019. I had an optic nerve decompression done; but still hoping on anything that can help me gain my vision back,any miracle. My optic nerve is intact but was impinged by bone fragments which were removed. Is there any new therapy or research to help my nerve fibres rejuvinate. I want to see the world like I used to.

My fiance Allison has been blind for 15 years due to VKH witch put pressure on the optic nerve. She has not seen what her kids look like anymore and still has no clue what our youngest boys look like as well as myself. Probably why I'm with her; her not shallow way. Allison has noticed a couple of spots of slight vision in a few spots in each eye. She continues to use her eyes as if they do work to delay atropine. Her and I were wondering if there was any kind of testing or trials in witch we can try?

My husband has hereditary optic nerve atrophy. It was passed from his mother. One of his brothers had the same disorder. We have 4 children. Our youngest son that is 7 has recently been having trouble seeing. Everything is perfect on the surface but the optic nerves are showing signs that he may have what my husband his father has. The neuro ophthalmologist wants to put the knowledge of his dad's eye disorder to the side and is scheduling an mri to make sure there's not anything else going on such as something pushing on his optic nerves. He is leaning towards the possibility of it being the hereditary optic nerve atrophy since his dad has it but aim appreciative of his thoroughness to rule out any other causes. We are trying to wait patiently but would like to explore other options and find hope in treatments to restore his vision or at least stop him from losing any more. So possibly my son is a candidate for your trial research treatment. My husband would definitely be interested as well. We would love to be one of your success stories. Thanks for all that you do. You have our whole support in what you're doing to potentially better people's lives. May God bless you for that!

Hello, I have open angle glaucoma. I am scared. The eye specialist stated it is severe. Is there a way to regenerate my optic nerves? My eye sight has decreased. I'm scheduled to have laser surgery soon due to my eye pressure in both eyes. I'm on 4 eye drops for the eye pressure. If you have any information please email me. Thanks and God bless!
I'm in the United States.

Hello!
My brother had a head injury that left him blind 10 years ago. The nerves in his Right eye were damaged and he lost his Right eyeball. The nerves and eyeball on Left side were intact. The doctors explained that he lost his vision because of the crossing over of the optic nerves at the optic chiasm. He has been entirely blind since that moment. We are interested in volunteering for trials and getting information on treatment options. Thank you so much for your help!
