Ozone Therapy for RP

Ozone Therapy for the Treatment of Retinitis Pigmentosa

Traditionally, patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa(RP) have been told that there is no hope and that peripheral field of vision will continue to progressively constrict until all vision is eventually extinguished. RP patients anticipate blindness.

A treatment recently developed in Cuba whereby 200 cc’s of blood is collected, ozonated, and is reinfused into the patient on 15 consecutive days was found to increase contrast sensitivity, enhance color perception, augment glare recovery, facilitate function in low light, and in some cases expand the visual field.

If repeated every 4-6 months it is felt that progression of the disease can be slowed or stabilized.
