I am 47 male and a type 3 diabetic for 20 yrs.
I had a glaucoma right eye operation three yrs ago and lost my sight entirely next day after infection set in.My eye pressure is nil and eye shrunken, is there any hope thru stem cell or other wise available for restoration of my vision and if so where can i get them.
Thank you

"Has stem cells helped restore my type of problem?"

Not yet. Not until medical science reveals their discovery, successful testing on animals conducted, then approval on human beings.

Great advice by CoWriter - follow it. Someday yes, stem cell may replace inoperable damaged organs but it's years away.

BTW, what do you consider type 3 diabetes? T3 was not discovered until around 2005 yet you say "a type 3 diabetic for 20 yrs." What are you doing to control and manage your diabetes? What are your daily glucose levels?

Unfortunately there's nothing that can restore your vision at this point.  But you can prevent it from happening to your other eye by scheduling frequent eye exams and keeping your blood sugar under control..
