WHAT DOES RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

retinitis pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited, degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment and often blindness. The progress of RP is not consistent. Some people will exhibit symptoms from infancy, others may not notice symptoms until later in life. Generally, the later the onset, the more rapid is the deterioration in sight. Those who do not have RP have 90 degree peripheral vision, while some people who have RP have less than 90 degrees. A form of retinal dystrophy, RP is caused by abnormalities of the photoreceptors or the retinal pigment epithelium of the retina leading to progressive sight loss. Affected individuals may experience defective light to dark, dark to light adaptation or nyctalopia, as the result of the degeneration of the peripheral visual field. Sometimes, central vision is lost first causing the person to look sidelong at objects. The effect of RP is best illustrated by comparison to a television or computer screen. The pixels of light that form the image on the screen equate to the millions of light receptors on the retina of the eye. The fewer pixels on a screen, the less distinct will be the images it will display.
