“It was not what I had expected – nothing is like the IrisVision. IrisVision is incredible! Just a few days ago I replaced three electrical outlets without any problems. IrisVision is wha’s keeping me employed!”
Ed Combis, A former Special Weapons Technician with Retinitis Pigmentosa
As indicated that RP cannot be completely cured, some studies have found that a daily intake of Vitamin A palmitate (15000 IU) decreased the progression of RP in some patients. The Argus retinal prosthesis is a surgical treatment which involves an electronic sub-retinal implant in place of the damaged retina of the patients.
Gene therapy is also a potential treatment being considered for replacing the mutated retinal gene with a healthy gene variant to resume the healthy functioning of photoreceptor cells in the patient of RP but this treatment is still underway.
RP is a chronic condition that cannot be prevented or reversed, however, its progress can be slowed down from further progression by taking preventive measures for management.Helpful low-vision aid devices designed under the careful collaborative work of medical professionals and tech-experts such as IrisVision compensate for the visual defects of the person and are programmed so as to cater for individual visual requirements.
Individuals with low vision caused by RP experience increased difficulty to see at night, termed loss of night vision. It may progress to a loss of peripheral vision, central vision and color vision as well.
Vitamins most essential for this cause include Vitamin-A, Vitamin-C, E. Milk, eggs (yolks in particular), cheese, and yogurt are a good source of vitamins
Having retinitis pigmentosa is an individual experience. It may differ for everyone. For some people, the onset of symptoms may start at an earlier age while in some cases the disease may progress at a very slow rate. Really, there is no rule of thumb for dealing with retinitis pigmentosa.
Retinitis Pigmentosa is a genetic disorder passed down from parents to their offspring. If either of the parents has a dominant gene for this disease, they have a 1 in 2 chance of passing it down to their child, whereas if both parent individuals carry the recessive gene for RP, they have a 1 in 4 chance of passing it down to their offspring.
Retinitis Pigmentosa affects the vision in three main ways:
No, RP rarely causes complete blindness, rather most of the people suffering from it retain some part of their central vision even after progressive deterioration of the disease over a longer time-span.
Retinitis Pigmentosa refers to a group of diseases that involve the breakdown and loss of cells in the retina.
The deterioration of the photoreceptor cells leads to a gradual loss of sight. The photoreceptor cells found in the retinal tissue are responsible for converting light into electrical impulses readable by the brain.
Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic disorder, which is caused by a genetic mutation of any of the 50 different genes.
So chances of contracting the genetic disorder mainly depends upon whether your parents had it before you. Though the disorder may be rare but can result in peripheral or complete vision loss and affects about 1 in every 4,000 people in the US as reported by the National Institute of Health.
The progressive symptoms of RP vary for each patient, depending on which gene mutation has caused their condition. But symptoms of RP typically appear early on in childhood which is why some people experience rapid vision loss in early adulthood, while others may be able to retain part of their vision until late 50’s.
The effects on children can result in difficulty to see around in the dark, and it may take them a longer time to adjust to changes in lighting.
Most patients also experience photophobia; a discomfort resulting from brightly lit places.
Most people with RP undergo common vision problems such as the following:
The loss of rod cells in the retina makes it difficult for a person to see in the dark, as well as when a person changes place from a dimly lit to a well lit environment.
Tunnel vision affects the visual acuity in the peripheral vision and to put it in more simpler words, it narrows down a person’s field of vision due to the damaged rod cells in the outer layer of the retina.
Yes, most certainly!!!
IrisVision smart glasses for Retinitis Pigmentosa are a breakthrough technology for RP patients, designed in collaboration with leading institutes like Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, and UPMC Pittsburgh and leading technology corporations such as Samsung, and is the only device funded by a research grant from the National Eye Institute.
