Guide to Retinitis Pigmentosa and Related Conditions
This guide was designed to give family and friends reliable and relevant information about retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of genetic eye diseases that affect the retina, and that cause gradual, permanent loss of some vision. Contributors to this guide include vision care professionals, service providers, and members of the Retinal Degeneration (RD) Network, a patient group. This publication is not meant to replace discussions with your family doctor, eye doctor or other professionals involved in your vision care. This book will serve as a tool to better understand the disease and to aid in discussions with your ophthalmologist and/or specialist.
