Any new developments to restore the optic nerve

Posted by dancer381 @dancer381, Oct 14, 2018

My friend is legally blind. One eye is calcifying and the other only has 5% of the optic nerve left. Please update any new procedures to stimulate or regrow the optic nerve in the US.

Hi @dancer381 unfortunately the news isn't great in this regard.
