Classification	Clinical Manifestations
Nyctalopia	Occurs early on during the clinical course of Retinitis Pigmentosa. Night blindness occurs due to the loss of rod function. Nyctalopia can be an indicator of the eventually clinical severity of the complications associated with retinitis. Early onset of severe complications typically indicates more severe complications later on during the clinical course.
