Can retinitis pigmentosa heal on its own?

Retinitis pigmentosa does not heal on its own. The treatment of retinitis pigmentosa includes general treatment, medication and gene therapy. 1. General treatment: Patients with retinitis pigmentosa can have their vision checked in the hospital and wear visual aids to improve their vision. In addition, wear sunglasses when going out to protect your eyes and minimize the damage caused by ultraviolet rays. 2. Medication: Retinitis pigmentosa can be treated with medications that nourish the nerves, dilate blood vessels, and resist oxidation. It can slow down the process of vision degeneration. 3. Gene therapy: retinitis pigmentosa has typical genetic heterogeneity, the vast majority of which is monogenetic. Consideration can be given to targeting the cause of the disease by importing normal genes, replacing mutated genes or inhibiting the expression of mutated genes, so as to replenish the missing genes or remove the abnormal genes. It is still in the developmental stage. There is no specific treatment for retinitis pigmentosa. Patients are advised to seek early medical examination and treatment to delay the onset and progression of the disease, alleviate clinical symptoms, improve quality of life, and improve long-term prognosis.
