    retinitis pigmentosa is the name given to a group of disorders of the Retina, The name retinitis pigmentosa was applied by a Doctor Donders in 1857.

    Extractions: Inheritance Patterns You may have been told recently or you have known for some years that you have Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). This diagnosis could well help to explain the months or years of not being able to see properly in the dark, of stumbling into things and of falling over objects which you did not see. You will possibly have been told that, at present, there is no cure for RP and that you have to face the prospect of slowly deteriorating sight. Slow loss of sight is a difficult disability to live with, especially as you may not receive the immediate sympathy and understanding usually shown to the totally blind. Indeed many people will not believe that you have a loss of sight because you have no obvious sign of visual impairment. The first and hardest step towards living positively with a disability is accepting it. If you have RP this means knowing the limitation of your vision and learning to use intelligently the visual clues you still receive. In certain circumstances a normally sighted person must also do this. For example, the driver who suddenly plunges into fog has two alternatives. He can panic and perhaps cause an accident or he can recognise his visual limitations, take note of what he can see and move cautiously down the road. Likewise those with RP can panic or they can adjust to their changed circumstances and move on down the road of life.

    Extractions: Since the conception of TARP in 1979, our purpose has been to educate the public in general about eye diseases that cause blindness, and in particular, to assist individuals and their families who have just received a prognosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa and "impending blindness." Once a person leaves the doctor's office with the "bad news," their lives are changed forever. However, with better understanding, guidance, emotional support and connecting with others who have lived with it, the experience need not hold a bleak future for the individual.

    Extractions: Jag föddes med en sjukdom som heter R.P. ( Retinitis Pigmentosa ). Läkarna trodde först att jag var skelögd och gav mig lapp för ögat och glasögon för översynthet. Först vid 14 års ålder märkte jag själv att något inte stämde. Innan dess hade jag kunnat läsa en tidning utan glasögon och blev förskräckt över hur mycket min syn hade försämrats. Nästa gång jag märkte en försämring var när jag och en kamrat kastade freesbe, först såg jag den och i nästa stund var den borta. Det var då jag kontaktade min ögonläkare för kontroll av synen, och fick bekräftat att en kraftig försämring hade inträffat.

    Extractions: A: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the name for a group of eye diseases. RP causes the thin layer of tissue in the back of the eye, which is called the retina, to deteriorate. RP diseases are genetic and are passed down from one or both parents. RP damages the cells in the retina that sense light. These cells are known as rods and cones. The rods are associated with side vision and night vision. Clear central vision and color vision are associated with the cones.

    Extractions: We have found a cure for R.P. WHO NEEDS YOUR GIFT? CHILDREN: Like other diseases, RP strikes people of all ages. Unfortunately children are most commonly diagnosed. Day by day, children slowly lose a little more of their vision. ADULTS: While some people with RP will be totally blind by the age of 20, others are able to maintain partial sight into later years. These people make up a group called: "The Sighted Blind" WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES! RESEARCH: Our research advisory board invites requests for funds from prestigious research centers, then evaluates them and awards the most promising. We are determined to stop RP within this generation. INFORMATION SERVICES: It is more difficult to raise funds for diseases which are little known to the public. Despite the millions who have retinal degenerative diseases, names like Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Macular Degeneration and Usher's Syndrome are unfamiliar to most ears. We're spreading the word.

    Extractions: Published in Vision Enhancement Journal Retinitis pigmentosa is a term coined by Donders in 1855. It is not one disease, rather a group of retinal diseases with common attributes. The incident seems to be about one in every 4,000. It can be inherited by at least three different methods. Severity and speed of vision loss vary with each form of inheritance. The following are problems common to RP. Tunnel Visual Field Progressive loss of visual fields is a hallmark of RP. The visual field loss often begins as a donut like ring in mid-periphery. As it progresses both centrally and peripherally, the resultant tunnel vision begins to affect the patient’s activities, driving and mobility. Many patients still drive automobiles in the early stages of RP, but the risks for accidents increase as the field reduces. The functional field will be worse at night and in bad weather. Even RP patients in the early stages should not drive in these situations. As the field loss progresses, daytime driving must be curtailed. Studies suggest that on average, the visual field of the RP patient declines by 5% of the remaining field per year.

    Retinal degenerative diseases. What is retinitis pigmentosa (RP). An Explanation.  
    http://www.retina-international.org/rp.htm
    
    Extractions: Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is the name given to a group of degenerative diseases of the retina. The retina, at the back of the eye, is a thin sheet of interconnected nerve cells including the light sensitive cells (rods). It is here that light is converted into electrical signals to the brain where "seeing" takes place. In RP the rod and cone cells degenerate. Depending on the type of RP, the rate of progression varies. What are the symptoms? Usually the rod cells are the first to be affected. They are concentrated away from the centre of vision in the retina and are responsible for seeing in dim light. Thus, one of the earliest symptoms is often night blindness followed by loss of peripheral vision leading to "tunnel vision". Cone cells in contrast are concentrated in the centre of the retina and are responsible for brightly detailed colour vision. In cases where the cone cells degenerate first, central vision becomes blurred and loss of colour perception occurs. Peripheral vision is initially retained. Although the majority of people with RP do not suffer from associated disabilities, it does happen. Deafness associated with RP in a condition known as Usher syndrome is one such disability.

    Extractions: By Gretchyn Bailey ; reviewed by Dr. Vance Thompson Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare, inherited disease in which the light-sensitive retina of the eye slowly and progressively degenerates. Eventually, blindness results. Usually the first signs of this disease occur in early childhood. Vision at night is poor and becomes worse; also there is a narrowing of the field of vision. During later stages of retinitis pigmentosa, only a small area of central vision remains, along with slight peripheral vision Not much is known about the cause of retinitis pigmentosa, except that it is inherited. If neither of your parents have retinitis pigmentosa, at least one of them must be a carrier. A shrinking field of vision is one of the early warning signs of retinitis pigmentosa. There is no treatment for retinitis pigmentosa, although some practitioners believe that vitamin A may slightly delay vision loss. Occupational therapy may be wise before much of vision is lost. It may be easier to learn how to work around vision loss while vision is still available. Researchers are looking into ways to treat RP in the future, such as retinal implants and drug treatments.
