What is the treatment of Retinitis Pigmentosa ?

Answer 1

There is currently no accepted effective treatment for any of the varied forms of Retinitis Pigmentosa.
Sorry to be so blunt, but various odd remedies have been proposed and done harm, including financial and emotional, to those desperate enough to try them.

Bee sting treatment, keeping one eye occluded to "save it for later", to name but two.

Limiting UV exposure, as CluelessOne has already mentioned, can do no harm and may reduce the rate of damage. Good nutrition, again, may come into the same category, with particular emphasis on dark green vegetables (broccoli, Kale etc.) for their eye-related antoxidants.

Specific treatment will be determined by your physician(s) based on:
your age, overall health, and medical history
extent of the disease
your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
expectations for the course of the disease
your opinion or preference
Unfortunately, to date, there is no specific treatment for retinitis pigmentosa. However, protecting the eye's retina with the use of UV sunglasses may be helpful in delaying the onset of symptoms. Consult your physician for more information.
