Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary condition that causes gradual degeneration of the retina. It occurs when the rod photoreceptor cells responsible for detecting light lose their function. This leads to peripheral vision loss and difficulty seeing in low-light or nighttime conditions. As the disease progresses, it can also affect central vision and, in advanced stages, result in complete blindness.

Depending on the severity of the condition, we may recommend specialized optical devices such as side vision glasses, custom-fit bioptic telescopic lenses, telemicroscope eyeglasses, prismatic reading glasses, or magnifiers. These tools help individuals with RP optimize their remaining vision and live full, active lives.
