Retinitis pigmentosa is the group of genetic disorders affecting the ability of the retina to respond to light. The disease is often inherited, and causes a slow loss of vision, beginning with loss of peripheral (side) vision and decreased night vision. Later, it leads to blindness. This is the forum for discussing anything related to this health condition.
