Adam Kitchen - Optic Nerve Atrophy (ONA)
All his life Adam has lived with Optic Nerve Atrophy (ONA). A hereditary condition, ONA leaves Adam looking at the world as if through glasses covered in vaseline. During Adam's adult stem cell treatment in China his wife found him staring at her more and more across the dining table. He realized he was seeing her more clearly than he ever had before.

About this data
Patients self-assess each symptom on a 5-point scale (Worse / No improvement / Small / Moderate / Significant) at follow-up checkpoints after treatment, comparing to their pre-treatment baseline. "Reported improvement" combines the small, moderate and significant buckets. Data is updated daily from our internal patient registry. As with any medical treatment, past results do not guarantee future outcomes — improvements vary from patient to patient.
