Retinitis pigmentosa is the most common of a group of hereditary progressive retinal degenerations or dystrophies. There is considerable variation and overlap among the various forms of retinitis pigmentosa.
These are retinal degeneration, polydactyly, obesity, learning disabilities, kidney abnormalities, and genital defects (in males). To confirm diagnosis, the patient should receive three particular diagnostic tests.
Who is at risk of age-related retinal degeneration?
This condition tends to affect people who are over 60 years of age. Some younger people may be more susceptible, including people who are very short-sighted.
