Advances in Glaucoma Optic Atrophy Treatment in Canada with Stem Cell Therapy

Glaucoma is a type of eye disease. It negatively affects the nerve. This results in a condition referred to as optic atrophy. This damage can lead to blinding complications if not treated. While traditional approaches to managing glaucoma is to control intraocular pressure in an effort to arrest progression of the disease, they fail to address the issue of reversing optic nerve deterioration. Optic atrophy treatment with stem cell therapy is presented as a new solution.

Glaucoma Optic Atrophy

Glaucoma is due to raised intraocular pressure. It puts pressure on the optic nerve. This reduces the peripheral vision. Then ultimately the central vision as well. Migration of poorly treated glaucoma is associated with optic atrophy. This is the state of optic nerve damage. It can even be the thinning of the nerve due to ineffective functioning of nerve fibers. Conventional therapies include eye drops, pills, and lasers, or surgery that seeks to reduce eye pressure in an effort to stall further harm. However, optic nerve fibers cannot reorganise once they are damaged, which is why seeing loss consequent to optic atrophy is irreversible.

How stem cell therapy operates in the treatment of optic atrophy

They are able to produce neural or retinal cells which can replace dead optic nerve fibres or build new function. Autologous stem cell therapy for glaucoma optic atrophy entails the administration of stem cells either directly into the eye or to the aetiological region. These cells then help restore or replace damaged nerve tissue and also help reduce inflammation which may conserve and enhance vision.

Advantages of stem cell therapy for glaucoma optic atrophy

Stem cell therapy offers several key advantages over traditional treatments for glaucoma optic atrophy in Canada:

1. Stem cell therapy could see sight improvement as it promotes the growth of new optic nerve cell structures. This approach is different from other approaches in terms of cure where it looks at resolving the damage at the root level yet other methods are only used to contain the disease.
2. Another benefit of stem cells is that they provide anti-inflammatory benefits that are useful for minimising the kind of swelling connected with glaucoma. Reduced inflammation is helpful not only for bringing healing but also for stopping the progression of optic nerve disorders and, therefore, maintaining existing vision.
3. When they are activated, Stem cells secrete growth factors that give an added layer of Neuroprotection saving damaged neurons from further harm. It may be particularly useful for OP patients in early stages of optic atrophy.
4. As compared to other treatment options, stem cell therapy has a lifelong effect because it addresses the source of optic nerve injury. For many patients this can equate to constant vision preservation and improved over all quality of life.
