What Is The Treatment For Best Eye Disease?

I am 25 years old and best eye diseases. It hurts so much this situation and I fear for its future. I sent an e-Meil many addresses, but we are still no response, I would ask you to answer my questions and help me to start to live normally without depression.
I read the confessions of some patients who have been treated stem cells and are satisfied with the results.
I ask you if you in any way that we can explain this. Is there hope for me .... and if the stem cells in the experimental stage for how many years you could expect a real therapy.

Please
thanks

Hello
It seems from that you are having dystrophy of the retina in the form of BEST disease.
The treatment as of now is by use of low visual aids. There is no definitive treatment and use of stem cells is in research stage. If it becomes successful it will definitely provide ray of hope to many patients who are suffering from retinal dystrophies.
As per the available reports this may happen very soon.

Thank you
