BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Not enough is written about this gene mutation to summarize findings.

Symptoms of RP include difficulty adapting to dim light after being in bright light, difficulty seeing in dim light, and vision narrowing. Progression of these symptoms vary.  While there's no cure for RP, there are ways to help with vision loss. These include low vision aids, rehabilitation programs, vitamins and supplements have been recommended but efficacy has been debated. Most people with RP don't completely lose their vision, but they may be considered legally blind due to limited peripheral vision.
