Abstract

Patients with retinitis pigmentosa have defects in visual function, including the visual field, color vision, contrast sensitivity, and impaired functional vision, such as reading and driving. An assessment of visual function is required when interpreting the outcome of clinical trials of retinitis pigmentosa. Various defects of functional vision should be considered when assessing visual impairment for patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
