As indicated that RP cannot be completely cured, some studies have found that a daily intake of Vitamin A palmitate (15000 IU) decreased the progression of RP in some patients. The Argus retinal prosthesis is a surgical treatment which involves an electronic sub-retinal implant in place of the damaged retina of the patients.
Gene therapy is also a potential treatment being considered for replacing the mutated retinal gene with a healthy gene variant to resume the healthy functioning of photoreceptor cells in the patient of RP but this treatment is still underway.
