Thanks for your patient input which is visible online here after de-identification:http://care.udhc.co.in/INPUT/displayIssueGraphically.jsp?topic_id=272

Please find below an expert opinion from Dr Prakash Agarwal, one of the Vitreo-Retinal Surgeons in our network:

sir

thanks for sharing details. i went through the details. as u can see
the pt has got good vision in right eye so nothing for right eye at
the moment.

left has poor vision.. 20/500. we can think about treating the left eye.
we need to know few things.
Q1. is there any lens opacity in left which could be attributing to
poor vision. since the pt is already 60 yrs.
Q2. we need to get a OCT (optical tomogram ) of both eyes which will
help us rule out retinal macular edema as a cause of poor vision.

once we know above two things we can plan some thing.
About Treatment of RP per se:
i discussed with some colleagues at AIIMS, New Delhi. they are doing studies
with  stem cells. result  are ok. not very promising though.
