Retinitis Pigmentosa

 

The Retinitis Pigmentosa treatment program offered by Cuban healthcare institutions presents a therapeutic approach for individuals suffering from this hereditary and degenerative eye disease. Retinitis Pigmentosa is characterized by a progressive and variable course, leading to symptoms such as poor night vision, a gradual loss of visual field, and the presence of pigments in the eye’s retina. Left untreated, this disease can eventually lead to total blindness. To address this condition, Cuban medical professionals have developed a comprehensive treatment known as the Revitalizing Surgery, which is designed to slow down the progression of the disease and improve patients’ quality of life.
