Has anyone with retinitis pigmentosa gone fully blind?

Yes, individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can experience progressive vision loss, and in some cases, this condition can lead to complete blindness. RP typically starts with night blindness and a gradual loss of peripheral vision, eventually affecting central vision as well. The degree of vision loss varies among individuals, with some retaining some degree of sight throughout their lives while others may go fully blind. Regular monitoring by an eye care professional is essential for managing the condition.
