Retinitis Pigmentosa:Clinical Implications of Current Research

The ARVO sectional meetings offer the opportunity to hold a symposium on some specialized subject. We have selected retinitis pigmentosa because it is a common disease and because current research holds an apparent promise for a future clinical resolution of the disease. Retinitis pigmentosa is a complicated condition. We may find that it is not a single disease, but possibly several disease. Hopefully, anything we learn from our current research can be applied to the clinical aspects, in order that we may care or at least fain a better understanding of the condition. Proceedings based on an Association for Research in Vision and Op[h]thalmology symposium held at the Duke University Eye Center, Durham, North Carolina, November 14-15, 1975.
