I have been cured of corneal degradation by off-label use of Rhopresso applied daily for a week, then once weekly. It is a glaucoma medication, but in small doses promotes stem cell growth according to my doctor. Imaging of the corneas initially showed cell density in my left eye to be nil, and low in my right eye.

I was unable to read and had minimal driving vision with my left eye and some degradation in my right, getting worse with time (this happening over a couple of years). My vision is now comparable in both eyes after several weeks of treatment, and probbly as good as can be expected for someone of my age.

Drops? Ointment?
Glad to hear you’ve made progress.
