Many individuals give little thought as to the health of their eyes, only seeing an optometrist or other healthcare professional when they start to have problems with their vision or notice that their eyes sting, are overly dry or otherwise seem irritated. However, caring for your eye health and seeing an optometrist regularly can mean preserving your vision as you age, and can also mean spotting problems or eye conditions as they develop, allowing you to have those conditions treated and, in turn, reducing your risk of vision loss.

Patients who have retinitis pigmentosa usually have a hard time capturing clear images from the field of vision. The condition affects the photoreceptor cells which are located in the retina. When the condition is left untreated, the vision of the patient declines because of the death of the rods and cones in the eye. The death of all the rods and cones in the retina can lead to complete loss of vision.
