What the study is testing
The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term effects of transcorneal electrostimulation (TcES) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In a prior study (NCT00804102) the results of short-term stimulation showed a positive effect on the visual field and other parameters. In this study, the patients will be stimulated with either 0%, 150% or 200% of the individually determined phosphene threshold.
