Summary
This study tests whether a powder made from a special alga can help preserve vision in teenagers with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic eye disease that causes gradual vision loss. About 30 adolescents aged 12-18 will take the alga extract by mouth. The goal is to see if it can slow the disease's progression, not cure it.
