Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited retinal dystrophies characterized by progressive photoreceptor degeneration leading to vision loss. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution imaging of retinal structures, offering valuable insights into disease progression and potential therapeutic targets. This study aimed to analyze OCT examination results in patients with RP, focusing on the correlation between specific OCT features, distinct RP subtypes, clinical parameters, and disease severity. OCT proves to be a valuable tool for the diagnosis, monitoring, and understanding of RP. Our study highlights the potential of OCT in identifying disease-specific patterns and providing valuable insights into the underlying pathophysiology of RP. The findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive OCT analysis in RP management, guiding personalized treatment approaches and informing future therapeutic developments.
