   Extractions: is an eye disease that affects a person's night vision and peripheral vision. It is a genetic disorder that is usually hereditary. Symptoms start with decreased night vision and later progress to a diminishing of peripheral vision. The rate of decline varies depending on the genetic makeup of the disorder and also varies somewhat in individuals.

   Extractions: Retinitis Pigmentosa ( RP ) is the name given to a group of eye diseases often characterised by night blindness and the gradual loss of peripheral vision. RP causes visual field loss, and may lead to eventual blindness, by affecting the light sensitive photoreceptors in the retina. A genetic and degenerative disease affecting over four million people world wide and thousands of Australians, RP is a common form of retinal degeneration ( RD ). Related conditions include Macular Degeneration, Usher Syndrome, Choroideremia, Leber's Amaurosis and Retinoschisis. On This Page - Welcome! I am an Australian who has a form of Retinitis Pigmentosa. I've collected information and links to resources about retinal degeneration, as well as adaptive equipment, that I hope might also be useful to others who have retinal degeneration. You may also read about my personal experiences of RP and a weblog of RD news.

   http://www.visionchannel.net/retinitis/
   
   Extractions: Overview Retinitis pigmentosa is a term that refers to group of hereditary disorders that affect the retina’s ability to respond to light. It primarily affects rod cells, the photoreceptor cell that is responsible for night vision, seeing in dim light, and peripheral vision. Cone cells, which are responsible for color vision and seeing in bright light, may also be affected as the disease progresses. Retinitis pigmentosa may be caused by mutations in any one of at least ten different genes, resulting in a malfunction in the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and a breakdown of a portion of the outer segment disc membrane of photoreceptor cells. When cells are destroyed at an abnormal rate, the build-up of waste products interferes with normal retinal function. The result is the occlusion (blockage) of small blood vessels, an abnormal increase in the number of RPE cells (hyperplasia), and the loss of photoreceptor cells. Incidence and Prevalence

   Extractions: Retinitis Pigmentosa var site="sm5retinitis" An overview of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of hereditary diseases that causes the degeneration of the retina. Often called night blindness, retinitis pigmentosa may develop in a family where either one parent or both parents are affected or where there is seemingly no familial history of the disease. In other cases, RP is observed in only the males of the family. Typically, symptoms start in childhood and early adolescents. They include decreased ability to see in dim light such as movie theaters or ball games, night blindness and bumping into or tripping over objects. There may also be loss of color vision and the inability to focus or see objects in detail. The symptoms experienced depend entirely on the type of retinitis pigmentosa. Long-term affects of RP include so called 'tunnel vision'. This loss of peripheral vision is usually gradual, reducing the visual field to a narrow area of the eye, directly in front of the individual. In many cases, people with retinitis pigmentosa are considered 'legally blind' by the time they're 40. In cases where retinitis pigmentosa and hearing loss or deafness occur, there is a chance of Ushers Syndrome. Ushers Syndrome is an inherited disease affecting 3-6 % of the deaf and is usually diagnosed in childhood.

    Extractions: The retina, located in the back of the eye, is the part of the eye that acts like the film in a camera. It is a delicate layer of cells which picks up the picture and transmits it to the brain - where "seeing" actually occurs. In RP, the retina begins to degenerate, which causes vision to diminish. RP bodies throughout the world support research in a number of medical centres and hospitals internationally to find the cause, prevention and treatment of retinal degenerative diseases like Retinitis Pigmentosa, Usher syndrome and Macular Degeneration. Some of these centres also provide a clinical evaluation of the patient's RP or other retinal degenerations. They may also perform special tests requested by the patient's own ophthalmologist. Through the efforts of RP organisations in many countries, the number of highly qualified investigative scientists working full time on RP and related diseases continues to grow. Research efforts into these types of retinal diseases are difficult because there is no opportunity to safely biopsy - that is, remove and examine living retinal tissue under a microscope - the delicate eye.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Retinitis pigmentosa commonly runs in families. The disorder can be caused by defects in a number of different genes which have recently been identified. The cells controlling night vision, called rods, are most likely to be affected. However, in some cases, retinal cone cells are most damaged. The hallmark of the disease is the presence of dark pigmented spots in the retina. As the disease progresses, peripheral vision is greadually lost. The condition may eventually lead to blindness , but usually not complete blindness. Signs and symptoms often first appear in childhood, but severe visual problems do not usually develop until early adulthood.
