Abstract
In this particular study, we aimed to determine the factors that are associated with the loss of visual acuity by contrasting the measurements of local central visual function with visual acuity over the course of time in patients who sustained Retinitis Pigmentosa. An experienced optometrist was the one who carried out the vision examination. Visual acuity was evaluated for distance vision using Snellen’s test type, which was positioned at a distance of six metres from the student and for near vision using the near vision test type, which involved the student holding the chart in his or her hand at a distance of around thirty centimetres from the face throughout the examination. Utilising SPSS 20.0 the data was analysed. Student t‐test is the statistical test that is utilised. The p‐value was regarded to be significant if it was >0.05. In terms of demographic data, there was no discernible difference between the cases and the controls as examined. When compared to the controls, the patients had a much higher incidence of a decline in their visual acuity. Our individuals who had retinitis pigmentosa and already had strong visual acuity had significantly worse contrast visual acuity than our other patients.
