Presently no cure is there for retinitis pigmentosa. It is an inherited progressive disorder in which there is progressive loss of vision leading to complete blindness. Few medications are there but there role is very limited, may reduce the rate of progression. Vitamin A, vitamin E(in low dose) and vitamin C are helpful. A calcium channel blocker, diltiazem and a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, acetazolamide is also used. One good news is that US FDA has approved one retinal prosthesis implant called Argus II retinal prosthesis system which will not restore vision to patients, it replaces the function of degenerated cells in the retina and may improve a patient’s performance of basic activities by improving their ability to perceive images and movement. Other surgical modalities are cataract removal if present to increase the visual acuity.
