What is retinitis pigmentosa?
Disease of photoreceptors
Starts with loss of peripheral vision
Can progress to loss of central vision
Retinal pigmentation seen on retina
Other causes of retinal pigmentation
Following laser photocoagulation in diabetic retinopathy - multiple discrete round lesions
Macular degeneration (wet and dry) - hypo and hyper pigmentation - this is in macular
