	'''Retinitis''' is a [[disease]] that causes progressive damage to the [[retina]], the part of the eye that senses light and sends images to the brain. This condition can cause a variety of symptoms, including decreased [[vision]], night blindness, and loss of peripheral vision. Retinitis is often caused by a genetic disorder and can occur at any age.

'''Retinitis''' is a [[disease]] that causes progressive damage to the [[retina]], the part of the eye that senses light and sends images to the brain. This condition can cause a variety of symptoms, including decreased [[vision]], night blindness, and loss of peripheral vision. Retinitis is often caused by a genetic disorder and can occur at any age.

== Causes ==
Retinitis is usually caused by a genetic disorder. The most common types of retinitis are [[Retinitis Pigmentosa]] and [[Cytomegalovirus Retinitis]]. Retinitis Pigmentosa is a group of genetic disorders that affect the retina's ability to respond to light, while Cytomegalovirus Retinitis is a serious infection of the retina that often affects people with [[AIDS]].

== Symptoms ==
The symptoms of retinitis can vary depending on the type and stage of the disease. Common symptoms include:

* Difficulty seeing at night or in low light
* Loss of peripheral vision
* Decreased central vision
* Distorted vision
* Loss of color perception

== Diagnosis ==
Retinitis is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam. The exam may include a visual field test to measure peripheral vision and an [[electroretinogram]] to measure the electrical activity of the retina. Genetic testing may also be used to identify the specific gene mutation causing the disease.

== Treatment ==
There is currently no cure for retinitis. Treatment focuses on slowing the progression of the disease and managing symptoms. This may include vitamin A supplementation, use of low-vision aids, and, in some cases, surgery or drug therapy.
