Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of eye problems that affect the retina. This condition changes how the retina responds to light, making it hard to see.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare eye diseases that affect the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). RP makes cells in the retina break down slowly over time, causing vision loss. RP is a genetic disease that people are born with.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a member of a group of genetic disorders called inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) that cause loss of vision. Symptoms include trouble seeing at night and decreasing peripheral vision (side and upper or lower visual field). As peripheral vision worsens, people may experience "tunnel vision".

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare, inherited eye disorders that affect the retina, resulting in progressive vision loss. The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue located at the back of the eye. RP is caused by inherited genetic mutations that lead to biochemical dysfunction.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare, inherited disease in which the light-sensitive retina of the eye slowly and progressively degenerates. Eventually, blindness results. When retinitis pigmentosa is suspected, visual field testing likely will be conducted during or after your routine eye exams to determine the extent of peripheral vision loss.
