Glaucoma remains one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in Nigeria, 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 Nigerian patients explore stem cell therapy as an additional option to help support the optic nerve tissue already affected.

Why Nigerian Patients Consider This Option
Late diagnosis of glaucoma is common across Nigeria 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.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Suitability depends on the stage and cause of the condition. Before travelling, our team reviews:
01 Recent intraocular pressure (IOP) readings
03OCT scan of the optic nerve and visual field test results
03 Details of current glaucoma medications or prior surgery/laser treatment
04 Fundus photography showing optic disc appearance

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 Nigeria.”
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.”
