Retinitis Pigmentosa: It is a group of heterogeneous hereditary rod-cone dystrophies characterized by progressive dysfunction of the photoreceptors, associated with progressive cell loss and eventual atrophy of retinal layers. It occurs sporadically or in an autosomal recessive, dominant, or X-linked pattern. Hallmark symptoms are night blindness (nyctalopia) and gradually progressive peripheral visual field loss as a result of increasing and coalescing ring scotomas.
