Some specialist recommend a special vitamin supplement for retinitis pigmentosa but there is no definitive benefit. Protective sunglasses and proper diet and nutritional supplements could possibly have some effect in slowing down the degeneration - but cannot stop the degeneration or cure the disease. They should see an eye surgeon specializing in retinal diseases.
