So many of you have been asking for this that I’m re-posting what I have. Hopefully we can grow this list in a huge way over the next year — with a focus on affordable, ethical, skilled practitioners who are committed to treating Retinitis Pigmentosa and other degenerative eye diseases. If anyone has positive experiences with other practitioners, please contact me at ricks.ingrid@gmail.com.
