Yeah that makes sense, I've just never really heard anyone with rp mention it before.

Good to know!

Pretty similar to how my vision degenerated then, sort of like chunks of the world are missing and have been sewn back together really badly lol

Yeah, my rp stems from one of the rarer gene mutations so j guess it could be that

Yeah me and my mum and dad and four of my sisters were all testes (wete all VI) and they found it was the CRX gene

I had cataracts. I also have RP like the OP talked about except mine was like a ring that closed into a disk in the center of my vision. I had cataracts remived 15 years ago.. The drugs were good but once I came out, and they told me about this before the surgery, My eyes had only one focal length... I discovered that one of the things I had been doing was moving stuff much closer to my face in order to read it at the time.. I am not sure the exact state of your vision but for me, I was pretty bitter about having paid an arm and a leg to have some of the blurryness removed and then finding out that one of my coping mechanisms was gone. So If you can read now make sure you ask the surgeon about what sorts of improvement you might see. and what sorts of losses you will be likely to have.

Which is to say I was not pleased with my cataract surgery but also, still consult with a surgeon and get some actual medical advise. I just wanted to add a couple caveats

Yeah I just spoke to my dad who I inherited the disease from, he said its the way our particular form of RP affects us, he called it donut vision which made me laugh. I lost some of my central vision at sort of 13-14 but recently it's declined alot more (I'm 17 now), it's definitely a pain in the bum sometimes
