Assessment and Plan: Retinitis Pigmentosa
In a study by Berson, EL et al, those receiving 15,000 IU/d of vitamin A for retinitis pigmentosa had on average a slower rate of decline of retinal function than the two groups not receiving this dosage.
Vitamin E at a dose of 400 IU worsened retinitis pigmentosa by increasing progression of the condition.
