Retinal & Macular Conditions

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Treatment

Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of inherited disorders in which the retina's photoreceptors, especially the rods, progressively degenerate. It causes early night blindness followed by gradual constriction of the peripheral visual field into 'tunnel vision,' and may eventually affect central vision and color perception.

Understanding Retinitis Pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of inherited disorders in which the retina's photoreceptors, especially the rods, progressively degenerate. It causes early night blindness followed by gradual constriction of the peripheral visual field into 'tunnel vision,' and may eventually affect central vision and color perception.

While Retinitis Pigmentosa has its own clinical features, the rate at which vision changes is also shaped by shared biological factors — circulation, inflammation, oxidative stress and the resilience of nerve and retinal tissue. This is where an integrative approach can complement conventional care.

How Netra Restoration Therapy may help with Retinitis Pigmentosa

For retinal & macular conditions, NRT focuses on:

  • supporting ocular blood flow to the retina and macula
  • enhancing neurotrophic (BDNF) support to retinal cells
  • reducing oxidative stress and ferroptosis in retinal tissue
  • calming chronic retinal inflammation

NRT is a non-invasive, integrative therapy that draws on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, acupuncture and ocular-focused herbal medicine. It is designed to work alongside the care of your ophthalmologist, not to replace it. Read more about the science behind NRT.

Benefits of Netra Restoration Therapy

NRT works by improving ocular blood-flow regulation, enhancing neurotrophic support to retinal and optic-nerve cells, and reducing damaging processes such as ferroptosis, oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.

  • Stop Vision Loss Progression

    Addresses contributing factors beyond eye pressure to help slow progression.

  • Improved Visual Field

    Aims to support dormant and stressed retinal cells across the field of view.

  • Improved Visual Acuity

    Many patients report gains on distance and near vision charts.

  • Improved Contrast Sensitivity

    Easier to distinguish shapes, edges and fine detail.

  • Increased Visual Brightness

    Better brightness and color perception, including in low light.

  • Reduced Glare & Light Sensitivity

    Less discomfort from sunlight, headlights and digital screens.

  • Reduced Eye Strain & Pain

    Greater day-to-day comfort and reduced ocular fatigue.
