Description

This is a pilot, randomised, masked, single-site trial designed to assess the effect of coloured light exposure on cone contrast thresholds (CCT) in adults with RP. 70 adults with typical RP in which the underlying genetic cause is known will be recruited from Moorfields Eye Hospital genetics service. Following informed consent, participants will be invited for a baseline study visit. At a baseline visit, prior to any light exposure (day 0), participants will undergo Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (LogMAR) visual acuity (VA) and CCT measurements performed by an experienced ...
