What are Retinal Degenerative Diseases?
Retinal degenerative diseases are a family of disorders that cause degeneration of the retina.
What is Retinitis Pigmentosa?
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the name given to a group of inherited eye diseases that affect the retina. Retinitis pigmentosa causes the degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Photoreceptor cells capture and process light helping us to see. As these cells degenerate and die, patients experience progressive vision loss.
There are types of photoreceptor cells: rod cells and cone cells. Rod cells are concentrated along the outer perimeter of the retina. Rod cells help us to see images that come into our peripheral or side vision. They also help us to see in dark and dimly lit environments. Cone cells are concentrated in the macula, the center of the retina, and allow us to see fine visual detail in the center of our vision. Cone cells also allow us to perceive color. Together, rods and cones are the cells responsible for converting light into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain where seeing actually occurs.
What causes Retinitis Pigmentosa?
Retinitis Pigmentosa is a genetic disorder. It is programmed into your cells, not caused by injury, infection or any other external agent. Genetic defects (mutations) send faulty messages to the retinal cells which leads to their progressive degeneration, which in turn, leads to vision loss.

Dear Pankaj,
Thanks for your reply and Qs.
To be more about me. In my family nobody is affected by RP. although I have noticed that my sister had retyina detachment at her age of about 27. My father is still having no spect even at the age of 78. All his hair is still black and very energetic and active in daily life need no supports or any medicine. My mother is ofcource a BP patient. Her vision is good at present age of 73. Although recently she diagnosed as Cataract. In my child hood as I remember some doctors have givne me tonic Furoczon as minor heart treatment. I had brocken my spects some glass particles gone in my eyes with no major effects while playing cricket at the age of 12. My rught eye is Non Working at present.
Recently I felt one small bleeding without any injury in my right arm just 6 cm from whrist. Have no pain. I am not suffering from any other ailment. But have frequent throught infection due to pollution and dust. I hope this will suffice you. I will be happy to answer your more querries.
Thanks,Regards

I do generally feel throut infection due to pollution. But have no problem with my skin. As reqargd furoxzon tonic I mention I may have misspeled as it was about 35 year back when I was 8-9. I have forgotten the details as such.
To add about me I am feeling some change in my thought. Earlier I was very enthusiatic, but this is no so at present. I avoide any new ventuer.

Hello everyone,
My name is Nayla i am 21 years old, I am from Bahrain.
I have been diagnosed with RP around 10 years ago. Currently I am in my senior year in college and as part of my graduation project, I am creating an awareness campaign to let people know about the disease and what we, patients, struggle and go through on a daily basis.
I want to ask you, if you may, to video tape yourself and tell me about how it is like to live with RP. The video tape will only be used for viewing and it will not be copied or distribted.
In the video, I would like you to state when you were diagnosed, how did you first notice or people around you noticed you had RP, how are you coping with it, how do you explain to people about and let them know what kind of assitance you need. Talk about things like that.
You could email me if you have further questions or queries. Please help me spread the awareness. I would be gratefull.
Pass this along to anyone you believe would be interested in helping me with the campaign, people like you.
