Hello:

Am 68 yrs of age, and recently had some peripheral field vision tests,
including a RGE test, and the results were quite poor.

Was told that it "might" indicate Retinitis Pigmentosa, but that there was
no way to know for sure without waiting another year, and re-doing the
test(s) to see if the peripheral vision has degenerated more.

This is "apparently" because I have had laser work on both eyes for
retinal tears, and the reduced field "may" be due to the laser work which
was mainly on the periphery.

Having to wait a year, somehow, doesn't sound correct.

Are there tests that can be done now, to determine if this condition exists
?

Might as well also ask, please:

Exactly what is Retinitis Pigmentosa ?
Significance of ?
Is it degenerative, treatable, etc. ?

Thanks,
Bob
