Retinitis Pigmentosa
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/retinitis-pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of related eye disorders that cause progressive vision loss. These disorders affect the retina, which is the layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. In people with retinitis pigmentosa, vision loss occurs as the light-sensing cells of the retina gradually deteriorate.
