Genetic counseling: Much of the outcome from rp is related to the genotype. There are different genetic forms;some more serious than others. Blood tests are likely to be of value. See a retinal specialist.

Retinal Chip: Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of inherited disorders that cause degeneration of the retina and vision loss. Depending on the type, some vision can be retained throughout life, in other cases, not. The most common symptoms are night blindness and gradual loss of peripheral vision. There is a new retinal implant which restores crude central vision( argus ii) for those who are blind from rp.
