Retinitis Pigmentosa in Iran: diagnosis, family counselling and a remote review
Families in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad and Tabriz often live with RP for years before they get a clear explanation. This page explains how RP is confirmed, what helps today, and how Eye Stem Cell Center in India can review reports sent from Iran.
Understanding Retinitis Pigmentosa in Iran
RP is a group of inherited conditions in which the rod and cone cells of the retina gradually break down. Night vision fades first, then side vision narrows, and central vision often lasts longest.
Marriage between cousins is common in many communities, and recessive forms of RP can affect several siblings or cousins. Reports from every affected relative help doctors recognise the pattern, and genetic counselling can guide decisions about children.
How RP is confirmed
Reports in Persian are welcome. Send them as they are, with a short English note if you can.
- Dilated retinal examinationLooks for the typical pigment deposits.
- ERGMeasures how the retina responds to light.
- OCT scanShows the layers of the retina.
- Visual field testMaps side vision.
- Genetic testingAvailable through laboratories in major cities. The gene found can guide counselling.
Treatments with genuine evidence
Which ones apply depends on your RP type and eye health.
Cataract surgery
Cataracts appear earlier in RP, and removing them can improve remaining vision.
Macular swelling treatment
Treatment for swelling at the macula where present.
Vitamin A palmitate
Only under medical supervision, as high doses can be harmful.
Gene therapy
Applies only to confirmed RPE65 mutations.
Support and next steps for families in Iran
Practical help and an honest view of research.
Local research
Iran has its own cell therapy research. Ask your retina specialist about registered clinical trials rather than unregistered offers.

Experimental, not an approved cure, discussed only after examination.

Frequently asked questions
Can RP be cured?
Not in general. One gene therapy is approved, but only for a specific genetic type.
Should I wait for a cure before doing anything?
No. Treating cataract, using low-vision support and monitoring regularly help now.
Can my children be tested?
Genetic counselling can explain the options. Send your own reports first.
