What are the symptoms of retinitis pigmentosa? Is it harmful?

Night blindness, reduced visual field, and decreased vision are all symptoms of retinitis pigmentosa, and sometimes there are symptoms of color blindness. The harm is very great, it will cause blindness, and it is difficult to heal, and if you need it, you still have to go to professional hospitals such as Guangzhou Eye Center to treat.

The most typical will have night blindness, not ** will be blind, don't waste time.

Poor eyesight, night blindness. It is advisable to confirm the diagnosis first. I heard that this disease is caused by close relatives or genetic mutations, but now Western medicine has no good way to do it. It is recommended to see a Chinese medicine practitioner.

The visual symptoms of retinitis pigmentosa are mainly caused by the loss of rods and optic vertebral cells of the retinal photoreceptors.

Night blindness: is the earliest symptom and usually occurs during adolescence.

Progressive narrowing of the visual field: It usually occurs slowly, but ** vision can be maintained for a long time, and in the late stage, a tubular visual field is formed (like the eye is covered by a hollow tubular object, and only the things inside the tube can be seen), and even the central visual field decreases to a diameter of about 5 10 degrees (the visual field range of normal people with both eyes open is 180 degrees), and finally the central visual field is gradually lost, and finally complete blindness. The eyes are usually symmetrical.

Vision loss: In the early stages, patients maintain good visual acuity for many years despite widespread loss of peripheral vision, and most patients eventually progress to vision loss.

Cataract and**Retinal abnormalities: posterior subcapsular opacities complicated by cataract and macular edema are common, which can accelerate vision loss.

Abnormal color vision: most patients have normal color vision in childhood, with the onset of abnormalities gradually. Blue blindness is typically associated with a lack of optic vertebral cells that are sensitive to blue light, and red-green sensation is less disturbant.

Other symptoms: such as flashing sensation (feeling of a flickering bright light) and headache.

Retinitis pigmentosa can cause symptoms of vision loss and visual field loss, as well as color blindness and night blindness, and even complications such as vitreous opacity and optic nerve atrophy. These symptoms will gradually worsen with age, and if not removed in time, it can lead to complete blindness.

Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited eye disease, which is very difficult. When a patient develops this condition, it can severely affect the patient's vision and may also cause symptoms of night blindness, which will gradually worsen with age. Retinitis pigmentosa is very harmful, so patients must take precautions and learn more about diseases.

Retinitis pigmentosa can cause severe loss of visual sensation, and may also cause glaucoma, cataracts, etc., retinitis pigmentosa is a congenital genetic disease caused by genetic mutations. The ultimate solution to this disease is usually to carry out genetic **, and if any disease can be well controlled in the short term, it must not be delayed and lead to exacerbation of the disease.

Retinitis pigmentosa Sun Tong is severely blind. This is a kind of hereditary disease, can only be controlled by drugs early Kaihao, but the eyesight will gradually decline, usually pay attention to eye habits, do not look at mobile phones and computers for too long, avoid strong light exposure, light diet, should not smoke and drink.

In recent years, new methods of retinitis pigmentosa have been introduced, including stem cells, genes, neuroprotection, nutrition, hyperbaric oxygen, retinal transplantation, etc., among which the progress of genes is the most significant.

Phase 1 clinical trials have been completed against the MERTK-associated retinitis pigmentosa gene**, and preliminary results have shown a favorable safety profile, with improved visual acuity in the injected eye compared with the contralateral eye**.

About 1 3 cases of retinitis pigmentosa are complicated by glaucoma, late stage of retinitis pigmentosa induces posterior polar cataracts, and about 50 cases are accompanied by high myopia.

In addition, retinitis pigmentosa and deafness account for patients, because both the retina and the inner ear organs originate from the neuroepithelium, so the progressive degeneration of both may come from the same gene.

There are many phenotypes of retinitis pigmentosa, and further diagnosis requires the identification of retinitis pigmentosa pathogenic genes, which can accurately and quickly identify the genetic causes of the patient's disease, find and design the best program according to the pathogenic genes, guide gene correction, and avoid offspring or second children from getting sick again.

After finding ** through genetic decoding, it can be done through genetic correction. This research is progressing very quickly.

Uveitis and retinitis pigmentosa are two completely different diseases. If uveitis has been diagnosed, it may be uveitis rather than pigmentation. Retinitis pigmentosa is the first method we are working on and can be registered with us.

Uveitis Chinese medicine** can only be adjuvant. Reply expert: Tianjin Medical University Eye Center - Department of Ophthalmology - Deputy Chief Physician Zhang Xiaomin View the original post

I'd like to know what can be done. Also want to know.

At present, the medicine can not overcome this disease, can only wait for blindness, I am also a patient of this disease, I dare not get married for fear of inheriting the next generation, many people choose to be unable to touch because of night blindness, sad life!

Retinitis pigmentosa is a hereditary type of eye disease that can be treated by Qirisheng Chinese medicine in the early stage.

Be sure to have a good attitude! I have such a case in my family... Desperate, but still have to wait.

Hello landlord:

Retinitis pigmentosa is a congenital hereditary eye disease, early night blindness, but with age, daytime vision and visual field will gradually decline, generally in about 30 years will lead to tubular vision and blindness, because there are genetic factors, in terms of current technology, it is completely unrealistic, the purpose of the current technology is mainly to delay the development of the disease to help the recovery of the patient's vision and visual field, if not done, most patients will lead to blindness, but don't be too pessimistic, I have seen a few patients in their 70s who can still maintain their basic living ability, so find a suitable hospital for regular check-ups every year.

Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic disorder, and there is currently no drug or method that can help it.

In clinical work, I have encountered many patients with retinitis pigmentosa, which occurs at all ages, and its main symptoms are night blindness, gradual narrowing of the visual field, and gradual decrease in visual acuity with the development of the disease.

Patients with early onset of the disease develop symptoms in their teens, and their mobility is limited at night or in a slightly dark environment, and in middle and old age, they have difficulty moving even in a brightly lit environment, and need to be guided by a cane or supported by others to walk.

Patients with late onset do not feel symptoms in their sixties and seventies, and their lives are still unaffected.

The following groups of people are susceptible to the disease.

1.Marriage of close relatives (children born to children with this disease are extremely probable)2One of the parents is a patient with retinitis pigmentosa (some of the children born to the disease)3

Although there are no drugs and methods that can ** retinitis pigmentosa, patients are actively trying various means to slow down the progression of the disease or the speed of vision loss, and try to maintain the only vision and visual field.

There are three types of inheritance: autosomal recessive, dominant, and sex-linked recessive. Autosomal recessive inheritance is the most common; Dominant is secondary; Sex-linked recessive inheritance is minimal. Autosomal dominant types are thought to have at least two loci, located on the short arm of chromosome 1 and the long arm of chromosome 3.

Sex-linked genes are located in the area of the short wall of the X chromosome, and the area of the second region.

In some patients, retinitis pigmentosa is dominantly inherited, and as long as one of the parents carries the disease-causing gene, the child will develop the disease. There are also some patients with retinitis pigmentosa that is inherited in chains, and only the mother carries the disease-causing gene for the child to develop the disease. Other cases are accompanied by hearing loss, a type of retinitis pigmentosa that is more common in men.

In China, Western medicine has no effective treatment of this disease, and there are many research reports on this disease in traditional Chinese medicine, which is difficult to cure.

The clinical manifestations of the disease vary, and some can cause night blindness. Generally, the eyes are symmetrical, and the visual field will slowly decrease later, but **vision can be maintained for a long time. **Method: It is generally advisable to eat nutrients and antioxidants for the nerves to delay the development of the disease, usually pay attention to avoid light, and wear sunglasses when going out.

Retinitis pigmentosa belongs to the retinal cone, rod dystrophy, genetic predisposition, and sporadic sporadic disease. The clinical manifestations of the disease vary, and some can cause night blindness. Generally, the eyes are symmetrical, and the visual field will slowly decrease later, but **vision can be maintained for a long time.

Retinitis pigmentosa Answerer: Hello Peng Xiaohong, there is no way to do this, you can only get used to it slowly, this disease should have gone to a big hospital as soon as possible, so that there is hope.

The inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa is manifested as x-linked recessive inheritance, autosomal recessive inheritance, and autosomal dominant inheritance, which can be described as sporadic cases.

Characteristics of recessive inheritance:

There are more males than females.

Generational cross-inheritance, maternal grandfather (mother) through the daughter to the maternal grandmother through the child will suffer, the daughter will suffer from the father.

Characteristics of with x dominant inheritance:

There are more women than men, and one of the parents must be a patient.

The offspring of a woman with 1 2 children are likely to be sick.

Male offspring are normal, female children are normal.
