Kamil was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Atrophy, a condition that affects the optic nerve, which carries impulses from the eye to the brain. He, was, before receiving Regenerative Treatment at the facilities in Bangkok, only able to see the colour red, but he is now able to see other colours and light contrasts.
Although he had tried seeking treatment in Germany, the results weren’t satisfactory, this is how Kamil, 31, decided to do more research online and found out about the treatment options in Bangkok.
Improvements following Treatment for Optic Nerve Atrophy
When he arrived in Bangkok, after not having travelled since he was 15, they were pleased with the service that was granted to them. The members of staff were friendly and caring, and the doctors were patient and enlightening, explaining what exactly it is that Kamil was going to have as a form of treatment.
What is Optic Nerve Atrophy?
Optic Nerve Atrophy may be inherited or may result from brain injury or conditions such as brain trauma, inflammation, degenerative disorders, haemorrhage or tumour. It can be progressive or static depending on the cause of the damage.
A comprehensive eye exam is necessary to determine the cause of optic atrophy. This includes a complete medical history, assessment of visual acuity, color vision, side vision, and pupil reaction. By looking in the back of the eye with an instrument called the ophthalmoscope, the ophthalmologist may determine that the optic nerve appears pale, indicating a loss of nerve fibers. Additional testing such as MRI of the orbits and brain and blood tests may be necessary.
Optic nerve atrophy causes vision to dim and reduces the field of vision. The ability to see fine detail will is usually lost, colors seem faded, and over time, the pupil is less able to react to light.
Had Kamil not made the trip to Bangkok for the Stem Cell Treatment, his vision may have deteriorated even further. He is now glad he took the chance.
