This includes the development of (1) a mottled appearance of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that gives the same visual appearance of Bone Spicule patterns (but are not Bone Spicules), (2) a waxy yellow appearance of the optic disk, and (3) the attenuation of blood vessels in size and Arterial/Venous ratio as they enter and exit the Optic Disk of the retina and transverse it.Non-syndromic RP (RP appears alone without other co-morbidities) usually presents a variety of the following symptoms:
Night blindness
Tunnel vision (due to loss of peripheral vision)
Latticework vision(due to patchy loss of peripheral vision)

loss of depth perception
Photopsia (Spontaneously occurring flashes/blinking/swirling/shimmering lights)
Photophobia (aversion to bright lights)
Development of the appearance of melanin pigment in a bone spicule pattern in the fundus (not bone tissue)
Slow adjustment from dark to light environments and vice versa
Blurring of vision
Poor color separation
Loss of central vision is the last to go, because this is a disease of the rods and not the cones which are the highest in number in the Central Vision (Macula and Fovea)
Eventual blindness (legally defined as 20 degrees or less in the best seeing eye or visual acuity of 20/200 or worse. Majority of patients do not go totally Blind, they quite often retain limited non-functional vision. Causes
RP may be:
(1) non-syndromic, that is, it occurs alone, without any other clinical findings,
(2) syndromic, with other neurosensory disorders, developmental abnormalities, or complex clinical findings, or
(3) secondary to other systemic diseases. RP combined with deafness (congenital or progressive) is called Usher syndrome.
Dental appliances
Specially made dental appliances called mandibular advancement splints, which advance the lower jaw slightly and thereby pull the tongue forward, are a common mode of treatment for snoring. Such appliances have been proven to be effective in reducing snoring and sleep apnea in cases where the apnea is mild to moderate. Mandibular advancement splints are often tolerated much better than CPAP machines. Positive airway pressure
A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is often used to control sleep apnea and the snoring associated with it. It is a relatively safe medical treatment. To keep the airway open, a device pumps a controlled stream of air through a flexible hose to a mask worn over the nose, mouth, or both. A CPAP is usually applied through a CPAP mask which is placed over the nose and/or mouth. The air pressure required to keep the airway open is delivered through this and it is attached to a CPAP machine which is like an air compressor. The air that CPAP delivers is generally "normal air" – not concentrated oxygen. The machine utilizes the air pressure as an "air splint" to keep the airway open. In obstructive sleep apnea, the airway at the rear of the throat is prone to closure. Surgery
Surgery is also available as a method of correcting social snoring. Some procedures, such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, attempt to widen the airway by removing tissues in the back of the throat, including the uvula and pharynx. These surgeries are quite invasive, however, and there are risks of adverse side effects.
