| | An overview of retinitis pigmentosa |
| | Early detection may help to slow the disease and will provide information on useful resources such as vision aides and how to prepare for a life with reduced vision. | | | This loss of peripheral vision is usually gradual, reducing the visual field to a narrow area of the eye, directly in front of the individual. | | | Often called night blindness, retinitis pigmentosa may develop in a family where either one parent or both parents are affected or where there is seemingly no familial history of the disease. |
