A member asked:
I'm 27 and i have retinitis pigmentosa. does anyone know if i can go blind from it?

Possible: Retinitis pigmentosa is a highly variable disease. It nearly always causes visual impairment and does cause blindness for many patients. Your ophthalmologist can track the rate of loss of vision and can help predict the future for you.
