fundus autofluorescence, microperimetry, multimodal imaging, disease progression, optical coherence tomography
This retrospective study evaluates the rate of progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) using multimodal imaging, including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and microperimtery (MP). Traditional tests used to evaluate RP, for example, Goldmann visual fields and ERG...

Optic disc, optic nerve, rabbit, retinal ganglion cell, retinitis pigmentosa
The authors report the histopathological changes of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), optic disc and optic nerve in rabbit with advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP). RP was recreated in rabbits by using bacterial artificial chromosome transgenesis, with the purpose of increasing understanding...

The authors present a study of 21 patients with variants in the PRPF31 gene classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic. These variants are caused by autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP-11). Between January 2020 and November 2021 patients underwent tests of...

Cataract and Refractive
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the commonest inherited cause of retinal degeneration. Posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) develops in 41% to 90% of these patients by age 40 years. In this retrospective study, the authors have evaluated surgical outcomes in patients with...

This is a case series testing the feasibility of using bioelectronic retinal prostheses to partially restore colour perception in seven patients with advanced retinitis pigmentosa. Bioelectronic retinal prostheses are able to bypass degenerated photoreceptors to directly stimulate the inner retinal...
