LHON is an inherited mitochondrial condition causing sudden or subacute central vision loss, typically affecting men between 15–35, with the second eye often involved within weeks to months. It’s caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting the optic nerve’s energy supply.

Why Mexican Patients Consider This Option
Because LHON is rare and genetically specific, families often want confirmatory mitochondrial DNA testing plus an up-to-date opinion on current treatment options — including idebenone therapy and, where regionally available, approved gene therapy — which vary significantly depending on where a patient lives.

How Care Is Approached
Our evaluation begins with confirming the diagnosis (genetic testing if not already done) and current visual status. We then give a clear, current picture of realistic options: idebenone is the most established medical therapy with modest evidence for slowing progression in some patients; gene therapy is approved in certain regions for specific mutations and is discussed only where genuinely applicable to your confirmed mutation — not offered as a general promise.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Suitability depends on the stage and cause of the condition. Before travelling, our team reviews:
01 Mitochondrial DNA test results confirming LHON and specific mutation, if available
02Time since onset of vision loss (earlier evaluation generally has more options)
03 Whether the second eye has been affected yet
04Current visual acuity and OCT results

Reviews
What Our Patients Say
Bunty Singh
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.
Aneeket Kushwah
I came from overseas specifically for treatment. The staff not only assisted me with transport but also made the whole experience hassle-free. The medical service was of the highest standard and I was very secure in Delhi.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is genetic confirmation required before travelling?
“It’s helpful if available, but not mandatory — our team can review based on clinical history and OCT/visual field findings.”
Should other family members be tested?
” That is a decision for you and a genetic counsellor, since LHON is inherited. Our evaluation focuses on the affected individual’s optic nerve.”
Can Mexico patients currently travel to India for this treatment?
“At present, India’s visa suspension for Mexico nationals means direct travel is not possible. We recommend starting with a remote report review so you’re ready to proceed as soon as the situation changes.”
