Medically reviewed by Dr. Prashant Tyagi (Stem Cell Biotechnology Specialist, 10+ years) and Dr. Pallavee Senior Consultant | Ophthalmologist & Eye Surgeon 22+ Years Experience A confirmed retinitis pigmentosa (RP) diagnosis typically relies on two key tools working together - electroretinogram (ERG) testing and genetic testing....

Medically reviewed by Dr. Prashant Tyagi (Stem Cell Biotechnology Specialist, 10+ years) and Dr. Pallavee Senior Consultant | Ophthalmologist & Eye Surgeon 22+ Years Experience Patients researching treatment options for retinitis pigmentosa (RP) often come across two very different approaches - gene therapy and stem cell...

Medically reviewed by Dr. Prashant Tyagi (Stem Cell Biotechnology Specialist, 10+ years) and Dr. B. N. Singh (General Physician, MBBS MS General Surgery, 30+ years) For many patients later diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the earliest signs were dismissed for years - attributed to tiredness, poor...

Alström Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment in India Alström Syndrome is a rare inherited genetic disorder that affects multiple organs throughout the body, including the eyes, ears, heart, kidneys, liver, and endocrine system. One of the earliest and most noticeable features of the condition is...

Bietti’s Crystalline Dystrophy: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Bietti’s Crystalline Dystrophy (BCD) is a rare inherited retinal disorder characterized by the accumulation of tiny yellow-white crystalline deposits in the retina and, in some cases, the cornea. Over time, these deposits are associated with progressive degeneration of...

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment in India Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare inherited genetic disorder that affects multiple organs and systems in the body. It is characterized by progressive retinal degeneration, vision loss, obesity, kidney abnormalities, extra fingers or toes (polydactyly), learning difficulties,...

Cone Dystrophy is a rare inherited retinal disorder that primarily affects the cone photoreceptor cells in the retina. These cells are responsible for central vision, color perception, and seeing fine details in bright light. When cone cells gradually deteriorate, individuals experience reduced visual sharpness, color...

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a rare group of inherited retinal disorders that gradually damage the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. The condition primarily affects the photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones, which are responsible for vision in low light,...
