Multiple sclerosis (MS) can cause repeated episodes of optic neuritis over time, which may lead to progressive optic atrophy and permanent vision loss in the affected eye(s). Specialized MS care, including disease-modifying therapy and neuro-ophthalmology follow-up, remains limited across Nigeria. Optic Atrophy Treatment Center works with Nigerian patients exploring stem cell therapy for the optic nerve component of MS-related vision loss, alongside their ongoing neurology care.

Why Nigerian Patients Consider This Option
MS is under-diagnosed in many parts of Nigeria due to limited access to MRI and neurology specialists, and patients who are diagnosed often have limited access to disease-modifying therapy or specialized neuro-ophthalmology follow-up. Some patients look abroad to explore regenerative options for optic nerve damage that has accumulated over repeated episodes.

How Stem Cell Therapy May Help
Stem cell therapy is studied for its potential to support optic nerve tissue affected by repeated MS-related optic neuritis episodes. It is considered as a supplement to — never a replacement for — disease-modifying MS therapy, which should continue under your treating neurologist.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Suitability depends on the stage and cause of the condition. Before travelling, our team reviews:
01 Confirmed MS diagnosis (MRI and neurology records)
02 OCT scan and visual field test results

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this replace my MS medication?
” No. Disease-modifying therapy for MS should continue under your treating neurologist. Stem cell therapy here is considered specifically for residual optic nerve damage.”
Is this suitable if my MS is currently active/relapsing?
“Our team coordinates with your treating neurologist to confirm your MS is stable before considering treatment for the optic nerve component.”
What reports should I send before travelling?
” MRI and neurology records confirming MS diagnosis, OCT scan, visual field test, and current medication details.”
