Safe and Affordable Treatment Retinitis Pigmentosa
If it’s available, it should be every person’s right to safe and affordable treatment retinitis pigmentosa. People suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, usually a hereditary condition, experience progressively worsening vision at a young age. It starts with a person, sometimes only a child, who has trouble seeing well in the dark. This “night vision “ is followed by a loss of peripheral vision to an extent that some people are declared legally blind and are no longer able to drive. It’s a terrible condition that has no treatment options, at least if you live anywhere but in Cuba.
So Cuba supposedly has a treatment retinitis pigmentosa. This shouldn’t be surprising, their hospitals and clinics, including the staff, have high standards and are known for providing quality healthcare, comparable to the care provided in Western Europe, Canada and the U.S. They also have a government that has made widely available treatment for retinitis pigmentosa a high priority.
Many people with retinitis pigmentosa still are able to see, if not well, their whole life but most are considered legally blind when they reach their 50s. The progression of this condition varies among different people and there is really no way to tell if you will be blind in 10 years or 50 years. Rather than waiting around to find out, some people are heading off to Cuba to take a more proactive approach to keeping their eyesight.
When the condition of retinitis pigmentosa is diagnosed, patients need to explore eery available option. There is no reason to discount the treatment retinitis pigmentosa offered in Cuba without at least doing some research into what exactly they are doing. You have the right to make an informed decision about whether or not you want to undergo this procedure or not. It may be your choice not to, but at least its YOUR choice.
