Vitamin A and fish oils for retinitis pigmentosa

Unilateral retinitis pigmentosa: Case report and review of the literature

“…Moschos, et al [33], found an inverse relationship between acuity and implicit time. Others have not found this relationship between acuity and implicit time [31]. Our patient showed signi icantly reduced amplitude in all concentric rings, including the central hexagon.…”

“…Multifocal electroretinography may be especially useful in advanced retinitis pigmentosa where the remaining retinal function is too small to be seen with a full ield electroretinogram. In mild retinitis pigmentosa, the outer ring average correlates well with the scotopic mixed cone/ rod amplitude performed with full ield electroretinogram [31]. Multifocal electroretinography shows a gradual loss in amplitude that is greatest in the perimacular area, while more advanced cases also affect the macular response [32].…”

Potential Properties of Natural Nutraceuticals and Antioxidants in Eye Protection

“…In addition, is highly exposed to both light and robust metabolic activity. These two conditions expose the eyes to a continuous phototoxic damage and to an increase/accumulation of oxidative damage, responsible of the principal pathologies that affect their health [221,222,56]. It has been widely shown that sunlight, as well as incandescent lamps, can represent a risk factor for the health of the eye and especially for the retina.…”

Electroretinographic Assessment in Joubert Syndrome: A Suggested Objective Method to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Future Targeted Treatment

“…Recently, to obtain an increase of retinal function, several clinical trials have been performed in patients with inherited retinal dystrophies by using different types of treatments. In many of these studies [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] the efficacy of the treatment was evaluated by measuring the changes of the ERG responses. Actually, no similar studies have been performed or are ongoing in patients with JS with retinal functional or morphological involvement.…”
