Retinitis Pigmentosa treatment in Oman: options, family guidance and support
A diagnosis of RP raises many questions, especially when other relatives are affected. This page sets out how RP is diagnosed and managed, what care is supported by evidence, and where experimental approaches such as stem cell therapy fit.
Where care usually starts
Most patients begin at a primary health centre or local hospital and are referred to an ophthalmologist. Tertiary hospitals in Muscat, such as Sultan Qaboos University Hospital and the Royal Hospital, have ophthalmology departments for more complex retinal problems.
Stem cell therapy is not a standard RP treatment. If you want to explore it, do so alongside, not instead of, the care described here. Stem cell therapy for this condition is still experimental. It is not an approved standard treatment, and results differ from person to person. We cannot promise any particular outcome.
