Suggest Treatment For Retinitis Pigmentosa
I am 55 years old. I have been suffering from RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA since my early age. Just two year back diabetic has been identified but still it is well under control. As I hear there is no particular medicine to cure Retinitis pegimentosa. Now vision is very narrow and cannot move without help. Please tell me whether any treatment is there with you for Retinitis Pigmentosa, if so, are you sure it can be cured 100% OR your treatment will give only partial improvement of vision. Kindly inform the details.

Probably one more negative reply to you that there is no actual cure for RP.There is a treatment trial called ARGUS II implant going on but still is in very very initial stage. You can try low vision aids or spectacle mounted telescopes for day to day activity like watching TV, mobile and reading newspaper etc
