Abstract

Recent measurements of the dark-adapted foveal spectral sensitivity of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients have shown that some patients have a considerably reduced sensitivity at short wavelengths (Alexander, Hutman and Fishman, 1985). Moreover, there is an inverse correlation between the relative sensitivity at short wavelengths and the absolute sensitivity at longer wavelengths, such that patients with the best overall sensitivity show the greatest reduction in short-wavelength sensitivity.
