11 year old.. we noticed some mild night vision issue for several years but otherwise he seems to be totally fine. I did some research and suspect rp, finally saw ophthalmologist and got the scans… We sought 2nd opinions with the reports and got similar conclusions. My dad is the only one that had some vision issues. He’s in his 70s, mild tunnel vision that started probably in his 50s, no night vision problem and can live his normal life, even driving in the evening. I’ve been very depressed since the diagnosis. Among all the possible genetic problems, this is the last thing that I would have expected. We have scheduled erg, Goldman and genetic tests. The doctor looked at me as if he would be blind by adulthood… sorry it’s just rant
