Brief Answer:
Retinitis Pigmentosa is not curable

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

As of today, there is no known treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa and this disorder is not curable. It is a genetic disorder or hereditary in nature. Hence, one has to accept it as part of life.

The Oscillopsia is not related to Retinitis Pigmentosa. You should visit an ophthalmologist to get specific medications to help with that. The report attached is from 2016 so I am not sure if the patient still has Oscillopsia.

Retinitis Pigmentosa gradually leads to loss of vision. One should avoid exposing the eyes to bright sunlight by wearing sunglasses.
