Overview

pigmentosa Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare, inherited eye diseases that affect the retina, causing progressive vision loss over time. Symptoms typically begin with difficulty seeing at night or in dimly-lit environments, followed by gradually worsening central vision and eventual peripheral vision loss. In some cases, individuals may experience tunnel vision and total blindness. Treatment options for RP are limited, but can potentially slow or halt the progression of the disease. Research is ongoing in hopes of developing new treatments such as gene therapy. RP has a significant impact on quality of life, and patients can benefit from counselling and vision rehabilitation services.
