Wikipedia Entry on Retinitis Pigmentosa
Wikipedia is "a free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit." Recently I noticed an article on Retinitis Pigmentosa at Wikipedia. The article contained useful information about genetic testing for RP.
Today I added a short paragraph to the article, naming the potential treatments for RD that are currently being researched. If you feel you would like to correct, update or add to this article you should be able to do so by visiting the article's Web page. Click on the link named 'expanding it' at the bottom of the article and then enter changes into the text box displayed. You may choose to create an account and log in before you begin editing but this is not required. Unfortunately, I do not know if the site is accessible to people using adaptive technology.
Many Web surfers visit Wikipedia for initial information on subjects unfamiliar to them. Therefore it is important that the article on Retinitis Pigmentosa, and articles on related subjects such as Usher Syndrome and Macular Degeneration, are accurate and relevant.
