Retinitis pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) with a genetic test revealing the EYS c.5182del (p.Ser1728Valfs*21) mutation typically presents with the classical triad: bone spicule pigmentation, attenuated retinal vessels, and optic disc pallor. These characteristic findings are visible on fundus examination and are crucial for diagnosing and understanding the progression of RP. #RetinitisPigmentosa #EYSGene…

Best ayurvedic eye care hospital in kerala

According to ayurvedic theories, macular degeneration is a Vata-pitta predominant. In the case of dry type, the vitiation of Vata is more. So, Vata-Samana chikitsa concentrating on the head and eye is necessary to manage the case.

Visible Tension

RPS Science Photographer of the Year competition 2020

Surgery can be challenging at the best of times, but this operation has an extra layer of tension. Colleagues watch closely as surgeon Professor Robert MacLaren carries out a pioneering procedure to inject gene therapy into the eye of a patient with an incurable form of blindness caused by a genetic fault. Genes correcting the problem are packaged into harmless viruses, which have to be delivered directly to the cells at the back of the eyeball. Gene therapy for sight loss is an area where incredible progress has been made in recent years, with the first commercial gene therapy, Luxturna, now available for patients in Europe and the US with a condition called Leber congenital amaurosis. Researchers are working on gene therapies for other sight loss conditions caused by faulty genes such as retinitis pigmentosa, which causes the light sensitive cells at the back of the eye to break down.

Know Your Blind Terms #11

Retinitis Pigmentosa: a common form of inherited visual impairment that results in a gradual regeneration of the retina.

Fun fact: some opthomologous ya belive that taking Vitamin A can help slow the progression of RP while high doses of Vitamin E help to speed it up or worsen vision.

Molly Burke in 10 More Questions Not to Ask a Blind Person

[Photo ID: a group of three gifs of Molly Burke, talking to the camera. In gif one she is waving at the camera, asking “can you see this?”. Gif two, she holds up two fingers and asks “How many fingers am I holding up?” In gif three she is shrugging, and waves her hands, saying “I can’t see!”]

These pricey telescopic prescription glasses have been a huge help for me dealing with low vision due to my RP(retinitis pigmentosa). Doesn’t help with lighting issues but at least I can see normal for the most part. Besides it does make me look as if I’m ready to perform a complex surgery of sorts. Still not letting this condition stop me from making my art though. #retinitispigmentosa #findacure4rp #stayingpositive #keeppushing https://www.instagram.com/p/B6LxMR8FXOc/?igshid=1508a2lmr4rq2

“Yeah, if something comes at me from the side, I often can’t see it until it’s, like, right there, in my center vision. My eyes don’t adapt well from light to dark, and extremely bright light is just as bad as extremely dark areas. There are...tiny black spots in my vision, kind of like floaters, and they’re easy to ignore at this point, but I have cataracts already. It’s a side effect of these steroid eyedrops I had to take when I was younger.” I shrugged and started walking along the edge again. “Which is why the moon actually looks like two moons on top of one another until I close my right eye.” https://nfb.org #retinitispigmentosa #findacure4rp #stormandfuryrp #stormandfury #fightingthestorm #freetheorigins #jenniferlarmentrout #trinity #zayne #theblondebooklover @jennifer_l_armentrout https://www.instagram.com/p/B2l5YPpIG-b/?igshid=sk5t6ga19cke

CME in Retinitis pigmentosa

In retinitis pigmentosa (RP) with cystoid macular edema (CME), the use of split RGB channels in imaging can be particularly informative. The blue and green channels enhance the visibility of CME, highlighting the fluid-filled cystic spaces in the macula. These channels provide a clearer view of the extent and location of the edema, aiding in diagnosis and management. #RetinitisPigmentosa #CME…

Eye Breakdown

Up to one in 4,000 people in Europe are affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP) – a rare genetic disorder that affects the layer of light-sensing cells at the back of the eye (retina). Many people with the most common form of RP have a change in the gene encoding the light-sensitive pigment rhodopsin. These changes cause rhodopsin to fold into the wrong shape, triggering problems inside retinal cells and ultimately causing them to die. In search of solutions, researchers have been studying fruit flies to investigate the genes that help to get rid of misshapen rhodopsin. These images show how various combinations of changes in certain genes lead to different effects in the insects’ eyes. One of these genes, known as SORDD1, is particularly good at getting rid of faulty rhodopsin, so finding a way to encourage its activity could prove to be a way to treat RP in the future.

Everyday I choose to SMILE and if you’ve been here with me a while you’ll know why. Not only does reading the word SMILE make you smile (is that a little grin I see 😊) but it’s also a reminder to try and ....⁣ ⁣ See ⁣ Miracles ⁣ In ⁣ Life ⁣ Everyday⁣ ⁣ “Sometimes you just need to be reminded of what you already have and trust it’s where you need to be. Because when you do you’ll be amazed at the results”⁣ ⁣ Being patient is not how I would describe myself but I’m learning to be present and in the moment.
