The treatment of nystagmus, optic nerve atrophy, and other eye diseases is carried out at the highest level due to the use of innovative equipment. When treating eye diseases, precision, accuracy of manipulations, and excellent performance technique during the procedure are important because stem cells are injected not only into the canal of the spinal cord but also into the orbit and eye.

In order to restore the quality of vision, doctors began to practice stem cell transplantation in the following ways:

Intravitreally (in the eye)
Retrobulbarly (in the eye socket)
Intrathecally (into the canal of the spinal cord)
Intravenously
