1 -- The initial manifestation of retinitis pigmentosa, which is difficulty with night vision, is often noted during childhood. As the disease progresses, there is slow loss of visual fields, photophobia, and disrupted color vision. The progression to tunnel vision and blindness is gradual; the patient may be totally blind by age 40.The clinical manifestations that are described do not indicate early macular degeneration, detached retina, or glaucoma.
