My family has rp and it is autosomal dominant rp 10 most of us are blind at around age 60, my degree of vision is really

Good for someone with rp so im told, I'm 13 and have about 60-65 degrees of vision left with total night blindness, my granny describes her vision as if you were looking through a straw

[wiiredawake]

This is total fucking bullshit. Made by someone that doesn't have RP no doubt.

This is a synopsis of my film I am currently directing Diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at an early age -legally blind filmmaker Victor MIFSUD presents, THE WAY EYE SEE IT a documentary film about the struggle and constant adaptation to a world where visual ability is an assumption. Shining light on a rare and irreversible condition, which has literally transformed his visual field into a constant, framed vision of the world - ironically leaving him forever looking through a camera lens."

According to your comments, it's a true that in RP people don't see that black field around.

I've got it and it is frustrating, a big barrier to normal life.

This is a noble attempt at trying to visualize RP through the sufferer's eyes, I agree, we don't see the black zone at all, or at least I don't. What I do see is a central field with 20/25 vision that, when I focus on an object, i can see it clearly, but to look slightly away in any direction, it fades into this sightless void. RP is such a frustrating disease for a sighted person to conceive on film. I would suspect, to truely do so, one would have to have the disease.

hm, maybe you can explain about the tunnel-vision

we don't see the black sides, only what is in front of us, the black sides are just death and you don't notice them when seeing, all you see if the spot in front of you.

[Jossnaz]

you are correct. The brain just removes the blind spots. This is a visualization of the limited view.

How would you visualize it instead?
