Summary

This study looked at how well different eye tests can measure changes in retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of eye diseases that cause blindness. Researchers tested 49 people with RP and healthy volunteers using vision tests, eye exams, and blood samples over two visits. The goal was to find out which tests are most reliable for tracking the disease, not to provide a treatment.
