I find it difficult to explain my eyesight to people. I have retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which is a condition that progressively causes vision loss. I am legally blind, my peripheral vision is very limited, and most of what I see is blurry.
About the Foundation Fighting Blindness – The urgent mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness is to drive the research that will provide preventions, treatments and cures for people affected by retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher syndrome and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases. Join the fight and help us accelerate our mission.
