Retintits Pigmentosa (RP) is an eye disorder may be due to genetic inheritance.
Please do inform the current successful treatment for RP?
Currently there is no known cure for retinitis pigmentosa. However, research has shown that vitamin A palmitate may slow the progression of certain forms of RP. Your ophthalmologist can advise you about the risks and benefits of vitamin A palmitate and how much you can safely take. Taking too much vitamin A palmitate can be toxic, and evidence of vitamin A palmitate’s effect on RP progression is not substantial.
Another recommendation for slowing vision loss from RP is to wear sunglasses to protect your retina from harmful ultraviolet (UV) light.
Retinitis pigmentosa research is being conducted in areas such as gene therapy and transplant options. Since RP is a genetically-based disease, gene therapy has become a widely explored area of research, particularly in identifying ways to insert healthy genes into the retina. And as hereditary causes for RP are discovered, researchers hope to develop treatments to prevent the progression of retinitis pigmentosa.
Thank you Sir (Abdul)
I am under continuous research about this treatment and i even contacted many scientists all over the world. If you happen to do research in this area, my contribution also will be there because i strongly need immediate treatment methods against RP. Please help regarding.Thanking you
