About this site

Retinitis Pigmentosa is an inherited condition which results in gradual loss of vision.  When someone is diagnosed with RP, they or their family may feel confused, alone and frightened.

This site is designed to be a 'travel guide' for finding information about Retinitis Pigmentosa on the Internet.  It provides over 100 links to other sites on the world wide web, covering the following topics:

• What is RP?
• Genetics and inheritance
• Treatment
• Research
• Emotional adjustment
• RP organisations
• Living with low vision
• Contacting others

We hope that by providing easy access to useful information it will help patients and their families understand the disease and adjust to the diagnosis.

We welcome your feedback about this site.
