Dr. JJ does a good job with his videos and is to be commended. Regarding why the Cone Photoreceptors die off after the Rods. The Rods secrete a (Rod Derived Cone Viability Factor) that protects the Cones from Apoptosis, cell death. As stated by Dr. JJ, Cones provide Color recognition. But also the central cones provide fine movement recognition and fine focus. Fortunately because the cones make up almost all of the Macula/Fovea, They allow most RP Pts. to have somewhat preserved functional central vision even when the visual field is narrowed to 5 degrees (normal 180 degrees). Again, I would like to thank Dr. JJ for his many excellent and well done videos. I have recommended them to patients.

I really hope a cure is found soon, this condition can weigh your mental health down so much and as time goes on I lose more and more hope for a potential cure It saddens me that I probably won’t be able to drive, I can’t normally go out at night without guiding It’s generally tiring At this point I fear going fully blind way lord than death at this point

Since we go blind slowly, you will be surprised at your ability to adapt and compensate. It is not a grand party, but the journey is tolerable. Driving was extremely difficult to stop, but now we have Uber and Lyft to get us places and online grocery shopping with home delivery. 72 yrs old. Practiced Anesthesia for 30+ yrs. I had to retire at age 50 with the loss of my Driver's License. I am down to less than 2 degrees of vision. Live alone and care for myself. It is doable but you have to prepare as you lose vision. Divorced age 50yr, wife chose to start an affair and emptied my retirement and bank accounts with the help of her Accountant boyfriend. So, i started all over financially devastated but thrilled to be rid of her. Acceptance is an ongoing process. because just when you have adjusted, you lose more vision and have to readapt. But, you have to not feel sorry for yourself and keep adapting.

My partner has Tulp1 RP. And I have SO many questions. I found this video by chance. And he's looking at treatments to help at least stabilize it. And All I can find is Tulp1 is referred to as LCA15. He has rp14. And the only treatment I can find is gene therapy for RPE65. Are they all co-related? And would any form of treatment help him in any way shape or form? I'm honestly not expecting any answer but lord I would a dumbed down answer/guidance. I have learned so much about this disease

I'm 50 years old I have RP really bad.. my cataracts were getting bad so I had to go to a new eye doctor. The most frustrating part they had no idea how to deal with me they've never had somebody with eyes like mine come in 🤣🤣 it was a very very frustrating experience explain everything to five different eye doctors ten different eye doctor assistance that have no clue about our RP.. most eye doctors are like a cattle vall does eye doctors really don't give two craps about you or trying to help .. just healthcare in general is like this now a days .. they just see you as a dollar sign

@RBwell1026 4 ай бұрын

I think genetic testing helps you determine the type of RP you have, some types have more treatment available than others from what I've read. But you can get tested to see if you have it without genetic testing.

About some point in the future, stem cell treatment may help to regenerate those lost rod and cone cells to regain vision.

@jackccrofootjr7228 11 ай бұрын

That treatment is far off in the future. At present the emphysis is on Adeno-Associated Virus to carry the corrected gene segment into the eye to hopefully be incorporated into the cell using CRSPR-Cas 9, to then allow the correct vision proteins to be manufactured. At this time there is only one commercially approved AAV gene segment treatment. It is for Leber's Congenital Amaurosis type 2. LCA2 makes up a very small segment of RP patients.

PLEASE READ!!! I was diagnosed last week with RP and honestly never heard of it before in my life before then. Obviously pretty devastated by the news but seems to be moving at a very slow pace. I’ve done so much research and all I keep seeing is there is no cure and everyone asking for help. So this is the point of this post. I live here in NYC and I was referred to Colombia University where they have just very very recently started treatments for this . Nobody really knows about it and apparently the only place in the world right now. They have 7 doctors all together . 2 out of the 7 specialize just in genetic testing but the other 5 work with everybody. I have a appointment with them at the end of the month so right now I have no idea about what they do or test. But I’m hopeful and I think this is a huge break for us . Please comment or ask any questions . I want to help as many people with it as I can because I was blessed enough to be in the same city but I know everybody is not the fortunate ! I will also keep updates and going to start making videos with my journey !
