Abstract

We describe the case of a 38-year-old patient with retinitis pigmentosa. Diagnosed at the age of 20, she presented a progressive decrease in visual acuity and visual field, until she developed a shotgun barrel campimetry. After starting a photobiomodulation treatment of 9 sessions every other day, the patient reported improvement in visual acuity, night vision and quality of life. Clinical evaluation showed a visual acuity of 10/10 in both eyes and a substantial improvement in visual field.
