Hello
1. Retinitis pigmentosa is a progressive disease
2. Speed of progression varies from person to person. I have seen patients going bling at young age of 30 years and I have seen patients having good vision even at age of 50 yrs. So, you can go for 6 months perimetry test and that will guide you the rate of progression.

Hello. I am sorry but there is no treatment for retinitis pigmentosa.
Low vision aids can help in your day to day activities.
These low vision aids will be available in l v prasad eye institute only.
Use torch light in dark.
A lot of research is going on but no treatment available so far.
