Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
This is part of a group of rare eye diseases that affect the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). RP makes cells in the retina break down slowly over time, causing vision loss. RP is a genetic disease that people are born with. At this time, there is no cure or treatment available to slow vision loss in RP or associated retinal disorders. However, RP sometimes causes other eye problems that can be treated, such as cataracts or swelling in the retina. |
