Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare eye genetic disease that causes eye sight loss. Researchers are trying to find an effective cure for retinitis pigmentosa but till date there is no such cure for this disease. But it is scientifically proven that certain treatments can be helpful for retinitis pigmentosa and stem cell therapy is one such treatment. Stem cell therapy is not only effective in treating retinitis pigmentosa but it also be used for Chronic kidney disease treatment, spinal cord injury treatment, brain injury treatment, etc. This blog will cover the benefits of stem cell treatment for retinitis pigmentosa. 


  1. The stem cells can substitute the degenerated cells:


In the stem cell treatment, healthy stem cells are used to regenerate and repair the genetic defective and degenerated photoreceptor cells (rod and cones). The retinitis pigmentosa disease damages these cells in the retina which leads to the loss of eye sight. But as mentioned the stem cells can replace and repair these defective/damaged cells which can help in restoring visual function in the eyes.


  1. Protection from further damage of the cells:


The stem cell therapy can not only regenerate and repair the damaged retinal cells with healthy stem cells but can also protect the retinal cells from getting further damaged. 


  1. The surrounding cells in your eyes can survive with the help of stem cell therapy:


It is stated that the stem cell treatment is also effective in protecting the surrounding cells of the degenerated retinal cells and helps them in surviving by preventing further degeneration.


So, by looking at the aforementioned benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Retinitis Pigmentosa you can understand that the stem cell therapy can be quite helpful. And if you are to receive the stem cell treatment then it is highly recommended that you choose only the best stem cell therapy clinic.
