RPlist is dedicated to discussions related to retinal degenerations . It is open to people personally effected by these conditions, their family and friends, people working in the eye care or low vision fields, and more generally anyone who wants to learn or share experience in relation with retinal conditions. Retinal degenerations are characterized by a progressive deterioration of the retina which causes a progressive loss of vision. Unlike refractive anomalies such as myopia or astigmatism, retinal degenerations cannot be corrected with lenses, and in most cases they cannot currently be treated. There are many forms of retinal degenerations which affect various parts of the retina and progress at different rates, causing a wide range of visual situations.
