retinitis pigmentosa

Principle

This experiment investigates the eye disease retinitis pigmentosa.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the retina of the eye and cause progressive vision loss. The retina is responsible for converting light entering the eye into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. RP impairs the retina's ability to process light effectively, leading to a gradual deterioration in vision.
