Toxic optic neuropathy is optic nerve damage caused by exposure to alcohol, tobacco, certain medications, industrial chemicals, or nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin B12 deficiency. Once the toxic exposure is identified and removed, some Ghanan patients are left with residual vision loss and limited access to specialized follow-up care. Optic Atrophy Treatment Center works with Ghanan patients exploring stem cell therapy once the underlying toxic cause has been addressed.
Identifying and removing the toxic exposure is the essential first step, and is typically managed by a physician in Ghana. Once that step is complete, specialized neuro-ophthalmology follow-up for the residual optic nerve damage is limited locally, leading some patients to seek evaluation abroad for regenerative treatment options.

Amazing experience at Stem Cell Cure India. Doctors were very considerate, the personnel was very nice, and the whole process was very well organized. Strongly recommend for anyone considering stem cell therapy.

I feel very happy and I am very much satisfied with stem cell cure india services and my daughter just took stem cell treatment for eye genetic disease called RP (Bardet Biedl Syndrome) and we are hopeful to see some good improvement.
“Yes. Removing or correcting the underlying cause (alcohol, medication, nutritional deficiency) is essential and should already be addressed by your physician before we evaluate suitability for stem cell therapy.”
“Vitamin B12/nutritional panel results, OCT scan, visual field test, and details of the toxic exposure and steps already taken to address it.”
” In some cases nutritional correction alone can help; our team reviews your reports to advise whether stem cell therapy may offer additional benefit.”
