How long do you keep your vision with retinitis pigmentosa?
Retinitis pigmentosa treatmentRetinitis Pigmentosa treatment. As human beings, there is very little more universally feared than the dark, and few disabilities more frightening than blindness which would leave us trapped in it. Retinitis pigmentosa is a condition which, to many people, might sound like a nightmare. Retinitis pigmentosa refers to a group of genetic conditions in which the eye progressively degenerates over time. The first symptoms of retinitis pigmentosa are night blindness. This night blindness worsens over time, eventually developing into tunnel vision which little by little narrows the sufferer's peripheral vision until finally they become legally and perhaps totally blind. There is not yet a viable Retinitis Pigmentosa treatmentProgression is different in each case of retinitis pigmentosa. The night blindness phase of the disease can proceed tunnel vision by years or even decades, and many people with retinitis pigmentosa do not legally go blind until their forties or fifties. Some never retain some level of vision throughout their lives. At the same time, others may go blind as early as during childhood.Retinitis Pigmentosa diagnosis come as a fearful shock to some people, which is why retinitis pigmentosa treatments are so important.Since time out of mind, people have struggled to treat the diseases around them. They have relied on everything from superstition, prayer, spells and religious chants to herbal remedies, surgeries and medicines, some of which are still in use today. Unfortunately for people before the modern era, there was very little to be done for loss of sight. Our ancestors had very few options in terms of Retinitis Pigmentosa treatment.Retinitis pigmentosa is caused by abnormalities in the receptors in the eye, the rods and cones which allow us to see color, light and movement. As these abnormalities increase over time, the sufferer's eyesight diminishes. There was very little for even our grandfathers and grandmothers to do when faced with this sort of disease. It has only been recently that our understanding of how the eye works, our understanding of how the body as a whole operates, and our technology has reached a point where retinitis pigmentosa treatments have become something of a reality and moved out of the realms of witchcraft and hope.Retinitis pigmentosa treatments are still relatively few. There is no true cure for retinitis pigmentosa, only treatments which may help to slow the progression of this degenerative disease.Among the first Retinitis Pigmentosa treatment options for people diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa are medications and supplements. For example, vitamin A therapies can support eye health and slow the progression of this disease. People who receive these should have their liver enzymes checked annually, since in too great of doses, vitamin A can become toxic to the system. Other retinitis pigmentosa treatment options include omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid and antioxidant, docosahexaenoic acid, acetazolamide, lutein, and calcium blockers.
