Summary
This study looks at whether a mild electrical current applied to the eye can improve vision in people with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic condition that causes gradual vision loss. Twenty-one adults with the disease will receive the treatment and have their vision tested over several months. The goal is to see if this approach can boost blood flow in the eye and help patients see better.
