Are there any measures to prevent retinitis pigmentosa?

In fact, there are no preventive measures, as this disease has a genetic origin. However, early diagnosis could improve the course of the disease.

In addition, genetic testing could reveal the inheritance pattern of retinitis pigmentosa and help determine the likelihood of transmission.
