Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal dystrophy leading to progressive loss of vision and blindness. According to some studies the prevalence of RP is reported to be 1/3,000 to 1/5,000. The case presented with sudden painless diminution of vision with watering, slow adjustment from dark to light environments since 2 months. He was an apparently diagnosed case of RP. The treatment was scheduled for 24 weeks of 4 sittings and follow up period of 12 weeks. Outcome was measured based on changes in visual acuity and symptomatic relief. There was improvement in vision from 6/60p and 6/36p to 6/18 vision & 6/18p in right eye and left eye respectively. The progressive nature and lack of a deďnitive cure needs a cost effective, safe treatment protocol to preserve the existing vision, avoid further progression and restore vision.
