Reinitis Pegmentosa is a breakdown in the photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, causing night blindness, narrowing of the field and loss of vision, progressive constrictor of the vision field. Go to Web Md to write your paper, and get both sides of the story. I would suggest you include stem cell research in your paper. For vision specialists are always calling for stem cell research to correct this disease, you could use the pro and con of stem cell research.

I am not aware of a cure for RP, but I work in blindness rehabilitation, so if you hear of a cure, I would like to learn about it.
