Understanding Unilateral Retinitis Pigmentosa （UPR）：Rare Condition Affecting One Eye

Is it possible to have retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in only one eye？ Yes, it is possible to have a condition called unilateral retinitis pigmentosa (UPR), where RP affects only one eye. This is a rare occurrence compared to typical bilateral RP where both eyes are affected. In UPR, the affected individual experiences the progressive degeneration of the retina and loss of peripheral vision in only one eye, while the other eye remains unaffected or shows no signs of RP.
The exact cause of UPR is not fully understood, but it is believed to be due to a combination of genetic factors and possibly environmental influences. The symptoms and progression of UPR can vary widely among individuals, and treatment options are typically aimed at managing symptoms and preserving remaining vision.
If someone suspects they may have UPR or any form of RP, it's crucial to consult with an eye care professional, such as an ophthalmologist or a retinal specialist, for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
