- Collapse
Among the patients in the second decade of life, nine (25%) of 36 RP eyes already had PVD with collapse; no eyes of control subjects 49 years or younger had PVD with collapse. [healio.com]

Prognosis
The prognosis in Retinitis Pigmentosa depends on the form of inheritance and age of presentation. The later the disease appears, the better it is. [barraquer.com]
Prognosis Except for mild cases or sectorial RP, most cases progress to legal blindness (visual acuity < 1/20 and visual field < 5 degrees). The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Educate the community – be a teacher You will be surprised by the lack of awareness people have regarding the problems, prognosis and conditions of retinitis pigmentosa. Educating your community will come with challenges but with fruitful results. [irisvision.com]
Etiology
Coexistence of these disorders might support the inflammatory pathway in etiology of RP. [tandfonline.com]
Prevention The characterization of mutations in genes already involved in RP and thus the etiology based on DNA analysis, is, at present, a high cost and laborious task. [barraquer.com]
Etiology More than 3,000 mutations in over 57 different genes or loci are currently known to cause non-syndromic RP. [orpha.net]
Defining unilateral retinitis pigmentosa, one should consider the following criteria: exclusion of infectious etiology of the disease (syphilis, rubella, virus retinitis, onchocerciasis), presence of classic symptoms on the diseased eye, and absence of [csjournal.ca]
