Tapetoretinal degenerations refer to a group of inherited eye disorders that cause progressive damage to the photoreceptor cells in the retina. Commonly known as retinal dystrophies, these degenerations lead to impaired vision and eventual blindness. There exist several synonyms for this condition, such as retinal degeneration, macular degeneration, retinal dystrophy, and retinal atrophy. Although varying in severity, all of these terms encapsulate the same underlying problem affecting the retina. Individuals diagnosed with tapetoretinal degenerations require specialized medical attention and should regularly consult with ophthalmologists to properly manage their condition and potentially slow its progression.
