  2. Introduction There are several prospects for the future of optic nerve stem cell regeneration. Scientists may be able to improve the ability of stem cells to regenerate or change the behaviour of existing retinal cells to act like stem cells thanks to new gene editing tools like CRISPR. Using stem cell therapy with neuroprotective medicines, bioengineered scaffolds, and electrical stimulation could have effects that work together to make things better. Artificial intelligence and imaging technology are also likely to be very important for keeping track of how well regeneration is going and tailoring therapy for each patient. For example, research utilising iPSCs has demonstrated a partial recovery of light sensitivity in mice with optic nerve damage. Other studies have shown that injecting MSCs into the eye can halt the progression of disorders like glaucoma by lowering the number of retinal ganglion cells that die and raising the number of cells that live.

  3. Problems and Moral Issues Even though it sounds good, regenerating optic nerve stem cells is really hard from a scientific, therapeutic, and moral point of view. One of the biggest problems is making sure that transplanted stem cells live, link with the brain in the right way, and make connections that work. The body does not regenerate these neurones when they die, unlike skin or liver cells.

  4. New Developments and Breakthroughs in Experiments Over the past ten years, regenerative ophthalmology has made a lot of progress quite quickly. Pilot trials utilising mesenchymal stem cells injected adjacent to the optic nerve have demonstrated enhancements in visual field sensitivity in certain individuals; nevertheless, considerable efforts are still required prior to broad clinical implementation.

  5. Difficulties in Implementing Stem Cell Therapy in Clinical Settings Even though there has been encouraging progress, there are still big problems that need to be solved before optic nerve stem cell regeneration can be a common way to cure blindness. One of the hardest things to do is make sure that transplanted stem cells not only stay alive but also turn into functional retinal ganglion cells and grow axons that reach their exact locations in the brain.

  6. Conclusion There is a lot of space between the retina and the visual cortex, and axonal navigation needs very precise chemical signals. The immunological response is another problem.
