Traumatic optic neuropathy occurs when the optic nerve is damaged by injury to the head or eye socket, whether from road traffic accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Emergency stabilization is the immediate priority, but once the acute injury has been managed, some Kenyan patients are left with lasting optic nerve damage and limited access to specialized neuro-ophthalmology follow-up. Optic Atrophy Treatment Center works with Kenyan patients exploring stem cell therapy once their injury has stabilized.

Why Kenyan Patients Consider This Option
Road traffic accidents are a common cause of traumatic optic neuropathy in Kenya, but specialized neuro-ophthalmology assessment for the resulting optic nerve damage is limited outside major hospitals. Once the acute injury is medically stable, patients often look abroad to explore regenerative treatment options for the vision loss that remains.

How Stem Cell Therapy May Help
Stem cell therapy is studied for its potential to support optic nerve tissue affected by traumatic injury and help preserve remaining visual function once the acute injury has fully stabilized. It is not appropriate during the acute emergency phase and is only considered after the treating trauma team confirms medical stability.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Suitability depends on the stage and cause of the condition. Before travelling, our team reviews:
01 Confirmation that the acute injury has stabilized (from the treating hospital)
02CT/MRI imaging of the orbit and optic nerve
03 OCT scan and visual field test results
04 Time elapsed since the injury

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after an injury can I be evaluated for this treatment?
“Our team reviews cases once the treating trauma team confirms the acute injury has stabilized — this timeline varies by case and should be guided by your treating doctor in Kenya.”
Will this treat my other injuries?
“No, our evaluation is specific to optic nerve damage. Other injuries should continue to be managed by your treating trauma or orthopedic team.”
What reports should I send before travelling?
“CT/MRI imaging of the orbit, OCT scan, visual field test, and confirmation from your treating hospital that the injury has stabilized.”
