Patients (94) 6 to 49 yr old, with progressive forms of retinitis pigmentosa were examined at baseline and annually for 3 consecutive yr with respect to visual acuity, kinetic visual fields, dark-adaptation thresholds, computer-averaged electroretinograms and fundus photographs. A subset was recalled within 2 mo. of a given visit to measure intervisit variability and to develop criteria for what constitutes significant (P < 0.01) functional change. Over a 3-yr interval full-field electroretinograms declined significantly in 66 of 86 patients (77%) with detectable responses at baseline. Patients lost an average of 16% to 18.5% of remaining electroretinographic amplitude per yr and 4.6% of remaining visual field area per yr. Bone spicule pigmentation increased in 41 of 76 patients for whom comparisons were made over a 3-yr interval (54%). Visual acuity and dark-adaptation thresholds remained relatively stable.
