  • If I have retinitis pigmentosa, can high-power glasses help me?


    Question:

    I wear spectacles because my vision is very poor. Doctors say that I have retinitis pigmentosa (or RP, a disease that causes damage to the back of the eye). Is it possible for RP patients to get improved vision by using high power spectacles?


    Answer:

    Absolutely. Many people with retinitis pigmentosa can benefit from magnification devices. You should see a ;low vision specialist.
