A member asked:
Does anybody playing any outdoor sport have retinitis pigmentosa disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RP athletes: Patient with early retinitis pigmentosa can successfully play sports. As the disease advances, participation can become difficult due to visual field constriction and/or poor central vision. I am not aware of current professional athletes with rp but i doubt they would want this issue public knowledge.
