    • Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of hereditary disorders characterized by progressive deterioration of vision due to dysfunction, cell loss, and eventual atrophy of the retina
    • Night blindness is usually the presenting feature, with gradual deterioration of retinal rods and cones
    • Initially there is loss of peripheral vision, which is of gradual onset and can progress to tunnel vision. Eventually, there is loss of central visual function, in most cases
    • The age of onset of visual impairment in the different forms of retinitis pigmentosa ranges from infancy to late adulthood
    • The condition is bilateral and symmetrical in the majority of cases
    • Ophthalmoscopy shows typical 'bone spicule' (pigment clumps in the shape of bone corpuscles) in the mid-peripheral retina with retinal arteriolar attenuation and a pale, waxy optic nerve head
    • An electrophysiologic test, the electroretinogram, which detects photoreceptor function, is abnormal even in early stages of the disease
    • Vitamin A may slow the progression of retinal degeneration, and acetazolamide may be of some benefit early on; all other therapies are still experimental.........reference : First Consult.
