Hardly anyone knows about retinitis pigmentosa. It can cause babies to be born blind but can affect any age.
No one knows what causes it, although it is thought to be inherited. No cure is known.
People don't realise how many different charities there are. Please help The British Retinitis Pigmentosa Society - www.brps.org.uk.
