Retinitis Pigmentosa: Gradual Loss of Night and Peripheral Vision •Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited eye disorders that cause progressive degeneration of the retina, particularly affecting the cells responsible for night and peripheral (side) vision. •It usually develops slowly over time and may begin in childhood or early adulthood.•Common symptoms include night blindness (difficulty seeing in low light), gradual loss of peripheral vision (tunnel vision), and difficulty navigating in dim environments. In later stages, central vision may also be affected.•RP is genetic and runs in families. Although there is no complete cure, early diagnosis helps in managing the condition and slowing progression through supportive care, low vision aids, and lifestyle modifications.•Regular eye check-ups are important to monitor changes and preserve remaining vision. At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide specialized evaluation and guidance for retinal conditions.•Early awareness helps in better adaptation and vision support. #RetinitisPigmentosa #EyeCare #VisionHealth #HealthyEyes 👁️
