Introduction
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the degeneration of photoreceptor cells and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), leading to profound vision loss or blindness. The prevalence of RP is approximately one in every 4000 individuals worldwide (Hartong et al. ). Even though there are no inflammatory processes in RP, the same name is still used today. To date, over a hundred years later, several treatment options have been proposed for patients with RP such as gene therapy, stem cells, and retinal prosthesis. However, long-term outcomes still need further investigation.
