Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) (health)


A hereditary condition resulting in degeneration of the retina; causes a narrowing of the field of vision. The visual field loss often begins as a donut like ring in mid-periphery. As it progresses both centrally and peripherally, the resultant tunnel vision begins to affect the patient’s activities, driving and mobility.
