Abstract

Retinitis pigmentosa, however rare, is connected with very poor prognosis for the patient. Despite fast development of medical sciences, there is still no tool for effective treatment of patients with retinitis pigmentosa. Nevertheless, recent years have seen intense research in gene therapy and retinal surgery using tissue and implants. These advancements bring hope for the future of both the patients and physicians.
