The answer is that I do not know. However, there are many types of glaucoma, all having one thing in common, that is a build up of pressure in the fluid in the eye. Stem cell research is mainly about "conning " the body into generating new cells to replace damaged cells and this would not be appropriate in glaucoma. Other answers may be more helpful.
Yes,
There are ongoing experiments and research exploring the use of stem cells as a potential cure for glaucoma. Stem cells have shown promise in regenerative medicine for replacing damaged cells and tissues. Researchers are investigating different approaches, including transplanting stem cells into the eye and stimulating existing stem cells to regenerate damaged cells. However, further research and clinical trials are needed to determine the safety and effectiveness of stem cell therapies for glaucoma.
