What frequency has retinitis pigmentosa?

Answer 1

Retinal pigmentosa treatment |remediesRetinal pigmentosa (RP) refers to a group of inherited diseases causing retinal degeneration. The cell-rich retina lines the back inside wall of the eye. It is responsible for capturing images from the visual field. People with RP experience a gradual decline in their vision because photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) become inactive.

Symptoms :

Symptoms depend on whether rods or cones are initially involved. In most forms of RR rods are affected first. Because rods are concentrated in the outer portions of the retina and are triggered by dim light, their degeneration affects peripheral and night vision. When the more centrally located cones responsible for color and sharp central vision become involved, the loss is in color perception and central vision.

Night blindness is one of the earliest and most frequent symptoms of Retinal Pigmentosa. People with mainly cone degeneration, however, first experience decreased central vision and ability to discriminate color. Marked loss of vision occurs over many years but may develop slowly. The diagnosis is made by a thorough eye examination and a special test called an electroretinogram ERG .

Naturopathic Help

Since we consider most conditions (including eye conditions) to be a reflection of the health of the individual, lifestyle choices and diet can play a major factor in getting and maintaining good vision. Below are some recommendations:

Nutritional therapy using vitamin A and omega 3 fatty acids has resulted in an effective treatment for many patients.

Rich Sources of Vitamin A
