Зображення 00697. Retinitis pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa starts from the periphery of the retina, causing night blindness, glare and tunnel vision. Osteoblast-looking pigmentation and narrow vessels are visible in the retina. The macula may remain unaffected for a long time. Retinitis pigmentosa occurs in many forms, with varying hereditability, severity, and speed of progression. Retinitis pigmentosa is a important cause for visual impairment in working-age people. No treatment is available.
