Glaucoma remains one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in Ethiopia, often diagnosed late due to limited access to routine eye screening. When intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve over time, it results in glaucomatous optic atrophy. While lowering eye pressure remains the essential treatment to prevent further damage, some Ethiopian patients explore stem cell therapy as an additional option to help support the optic nerve tissue already affected.

Why Ethiopian Patients Consider This Option
Late diagnosis of glaucoma is common across Ethiopia due to limited access to routine eye pressure screening, meaning many patients already have significant optic nerve damage by the time they are diagnosed. Once eye pressure is medically controlled, some patients look abroad to explore regenerative options for the nerve damage that has already occurred.

How Stem Cell Therapy May Help
Stem cell therapy is studied for its potential to support optic nerve tissue already damaged by glaucoma, once intraocular pressure is under control. It does not lower eye pressure and does not replace glaucoma medication, laser treatment, or surgery — continued pressure control remains essential to prevent further vision loss.

What Our Patients Say
Md Nasim Quraishi
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.

Excellent customer service and straight away got some improvement as my eye points stop hurting when i press them so and still on the healing process. Very experienced doctor and lovely people. Happy with it . I advise everyone to come and take a chance if suffering with this disease
Frequently Asked Questions
Will stem cell therapy lower my eye pressure?
” No. Stem cell therapy does not replace glaucoma medication, laser treatment, or surgery for pressure control — those must continue as prescribed by your ophthalmologist in Ethiopia .”
Is this suitable for advanced glaucoma?
“suitability depends on how much viable optic nerve tissue remains. Our team reviews your OCT and visual field results to advise on a realistic expectation.”
: What reports should I send before travelling?
” Recent IOP readings, OCT scan, visual field test, fundus photography, and a list of current glaucoma medications.”
