Patients typically report night blindness in adolescence and lose vision in the midperipheral followed by far-peripheral visual field in adulthood due to progressive loss of both rod and cone function. Most patients have reductions in central vision by age 50 to 80 years. Modern-day electroretinograms (ERGs) make it possible to record retinal responses from most patients with remaining vision and thereby monitor objectively the course of their disease.\n\nWhile the natural course of retinal degeneration in the common forms of RP was being studied, it was noted that a subgroup of patients aged 18 through 49 who were treating themselves with both vitamin A and vitamin E and other nutritional supplements exhibited less decline in ERG amplitude over a 2-year period. These preliminary findings, as well as the known roles of vitamins A and E in maintaining normal photoreceptor function and structure, prompted this randomized, controlled trial to determine whether these vitamins alone or in combination would halt or slow the progression of the common forms of RP.\n\nThis study was a randomized, controlled double-masked trial with 2 x 2 factorial design and duration of 4 to 6 years. Patients were assigned to one of four treatment groups:\n\n15,000 IU/day vitamin A\n\n15,000 IU/day vitamin A + 400 IU/day vitamin E\n\ntrace amounts of both vitamins A and E\n\n400 IU/day of vitamin E\n\nThe main outcome measure was the 30-Hz cone ERG amplitude. In addition, visual field and visual acuity were measured annually."}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["ADULT"], "maximumAge"=>"49 years", "minimumAge"=>"18 years", "eligibilityCriteria"=>"Men and nonpregnant women between ages 18 and 49 years with common forms of RP were included.

In addition, patients had normal fasting serum retinol and serum liver function profile and weight above the lower fifth percentile for age, sex, and height.
