The disorder affects the retina and is difficult to diagnose. It shows virtually no external effects on the eyes, and typically renders an individual as legally blind upon diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Retintis.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/p>\n<h4>How Retinis Pigmentosa Impacts Vision<\/h4>\n<p>Retinitis pigmentosa can cause blindness and severe loss of peripheral vision. It may also cause night blindness, extreme sensitivity to glares, and prolonged visual adjustments to contrasting shades of light (think: turning on and off a light switch). Currently, there is no cure for the disease, and treatment is scarce \u2013 though research suggests vitamin A supplements may delay blindness for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Retinis Pigmentosa Causes<\/h4>\n<p>Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited condition that affects one in every 4,000 people in the United States. The disorder is a result of retinal cell damage, and is thought to develop rapidly among older adults. Symptoms appear early on in childhood.<\/p><!--<form id=\"clid_form\">\n    <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"params_by_clid\">\n    <input type=\"text\" id=\"clid\" name=\"clid\" value=\"002546\">\n    <a href=\"javascript:\/\/\" onclick=\"getParametersByCLID('clid_form')\">Submit<\/a>\n<\/form>\n<div id=\"second_form_setion\"><\/div>-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caused by retinal cell damage and leads to progressive impairment and eventual blindness.
