Check for government clinical trials. . Try googling it. There is a new Facebook page on vision, started by a man in Florida who had his sight restored after 20 years, in a trial using stem cells. The Facebook page is Vision Quest Advocacy Network. There are also German trials using electric current to restore the optic nerve. Also follow the National Eye Institute on Facebook. They are a great source of information. Best wishes. I am hoping not to lose my optical nerves as they are thinning, in my case, I would not have anyone to help if I lost my sight. It is great that you are trying to help your friend.
