Collection: Retinitis Pigmentosa

Pigmentary retinopathy is a genetic disease that attacks the photoreceptor cells of the retina. The field of vision becomes tubular - central vision only. Retinopathy gradually leads to blindness. Filters for retinitis pigmentosa (RP) glare primarily work by absorbing short-wavelength light (blue and violet light), which is scattered more easily within the eye and causes visual discomfort, hazy vision, and reduced contrast. By filtering out these wavelengths, the remaining light provides a clearer, more comfortable image.
