Hello @swwo98 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis of NAION. I'm wondering how much your vision has been impacted by this diagnosis?

I see that on Mayo Clinic's website there is some information given about this disorder. Here is the link to that information, https://www.mayoclinic.org/search/search-results?q=NAION
I encourage you to read it.

I also found some research on stem cells from bone marrow to treat this disorder. Here is the link, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5723737/. This information is from the website of the NIH which is a reliable source as well.

What does your current doctor say about stem cell research for this problem?
