Also note the retinal vessels in the right and left eyes were quite attenuated.

Case 4: A 40-year-old female presented with retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma. BCVA measured 20/80 01.1. Patients with retinal degenerations sometime develop an unrelated secondary treatable condition such as glaucoma. For a great example see: Retina Revealed Case #14 - Stargardt Plus Glaucoma.

The bone-spiculepigmentation was not as dense in theleft eye and cystoid marcular edema(CME) was also noted.It has been reported by one study that38% of RP patients have CME in atleast one
