Does any one know someone who can help me with stem cell rsrch for someone with retinal degeneration?

my wife has high myopia, pigmentary changes in the macula area, exatropia, which is causing heavy nystagmus and retinal degeneration. She is 23 and legally blind with correction, during her child hood she went everywhere including john hopkins with no results, now I am reading about stem cell research for retinal problems but can't find anyone to point me in a direction to see if it would or could help her and how to get the help she needs, any help would be great
