Let's read about Asif’s journey to beat macular dystrophy through stem cell therapy!
Asif is a 65-year-old man from Bangladesh. He has had vision problems for a long time and has visited eye specialists yearly. He consulted many doctors to get a solution to his problem. Asif’s right eye vision was feeble, but he was not serious about it. From 2017 onwards, his eyes used to continuously water.
Asif was asked to undergo retinal degeneration and cataract surgery. His surgery would be done with the condition that even after this, eventually, he will get blind (i.e., No guarantee for success). He did not opt for the surgery.
After all this, the patient and his wife contacted ClinicSpots through our Q&A platform. After we came across their queries online, our executives and case managers contacted them. Our case manager discussed all the information about the patient's health conditions.
After our reputed and proficient doctor learned that the patient had vision problems and majorly in the right eye, he suggested going for stem cell therapy. The patient's wife agreed to stem cell therapy and responded immediately. We alerted them to take action as soon as possible.
Our team has taken immediate action and shared the VIL (Visa Invitation Letter) on the same day. When we got their passport copy, within two weeks we handed over their Medical Visa. Soon after this, they travelled to India.
We ensured their hassle-free travel and hospital stay. Our team took each detail of the patient and his wife, who accompanied him on this trip to India. They were happy with the care given by ClinicSpots' executives and the patient coordination team.
Our team members assisted them on their medical journey and took care of everything.
Once they arrived in India, Asif was taken to one of the best hospitals for stem cell therapy, StemRx Bioscience Solutions Private Limited. The case was allotted to Dr. Pradeep Mahajan, who got great reviews for treating patients with the help of stem cell therapy.
Diagnosis Tests: Asif had poor vision, watery eyes, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Before starting the treatment, the doctor recommended many tests to understand the severity.
The tests were as follows:
- Blood test
- CBC test
- MRI test
- Eye Checkups
- CT Scan
Treatment Plan & Cost: Dr. Mahajan decided to take the treatment further by using stem cell therapy after the tests. According to the case, Asif required 1 month of treatment to see the world without Specs.
He took the treatment for 1 month, costing him around 6600 USD. During treatment, they missed their family, especially their 13-month-old granddaughter. Our executives regularly visited them and ensured they were happy and not homesick. After completing the treatment, they went back to Bangladesh.
Post Treatment Guidelines: Dr. Pradeep Mahajan handed him a bottle containing stem cells. He has to preserve this in a box along with ice packs while travelling back. Once, he reaches back, he has to keep it in a refrigerator and use it daily for one month. Using the stem cells will improvise his post treatment results.
Dr. Mahajan gave the post-treatment guidelines in which Asif must do some eye exercise and follow the diet as prescribed. He was told to take his medicine on time and go for a walk and physiotherapy. Also, he was advised to take care of his sugar levels.
Follow-up: Asif visited India in July 2022 for a follow-up checkup. The doctors were happy to inform them that his Macular Dystrophy is completely cured. He can now live a normal life.
Asif’s wife, who was with him on the trip, expressed satisfaction that they got a positive and quick response from ClinicSpots. They were pleased that ClinicSpots helped them from treatment to accommodation.
