Is Optic atrophy for right eye curable?

2017-08-11 05:40:39
My son is suffering from optic atrophy due to trauma. He has fell down from the bike 2 years back. His vision has reduced due to this and he can see up to a distance of 1 meter. Is that curable? Can we get back his vision through stem cell therapy by any chance? Or any other means?

2yrs have  passed  optic atrophy  has set in now prognosis is not  favourable.  however since  he has some vision ie 1 Mt  so to know the extent  of compression  you can get a CTSCAN orbits  done .it's quite possible  that some Nero surgeon  may be able to release the compression.
