In my experience I use Adipose-derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) taken from abdominal fat together with orbital fat cells and concentrated platelets (PRP) implanted in the sovrachoroidal space. The effect is an increase in the choroidal flow of growth factors produced by this autograft that produces retinal neuroenhancement. Is usefull in all the atrophic retinal diseases in order to obtain an improuvement of visual performance in low vision patient. I have a good experience in dry AMD but we are studiing other atrophic neuroretinal diseases.
