Is there any treatment for the eye condition Retinitis Pigmentosa where a person gradually loses vision?
What’s the treatment? There’s no cure for retinitis pigmentosa and there are no treatments that stop the visual degeneration. However, good support and visual aids can help people cope with the condition. Because of the huge number of faulty genes that can cause RP, many of which aren’t yet fully identified, screening isn’t straightforward. However, antenatal diagnosis is possible in some cases where there’s a risk of X-linked and autosomal dominant RP.
