Transorbital Electrical Stimulation in Retinitis Pigmentosa. Better results joining Visual Pattern Stimulation?

Electrical stimulation (ES) by peripheral (transpalpebral/transorbital/transcorneal) approach seems to currently be one of the most promising rehabilitative techniques, which are aimed at the restoration of the visual function in low vision (LV) patients affected by degenerative diseases. The non-invasiveness of this methodology and its many positive effects on multiple retinal cell targets have led to the use of ES in patients with ischemic optic neuritis, traumatic optic nerve lesions, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), cone-rod dystrophy, Best disease, Stargardt disease, retinal vascular occlusions, glaucoma, and dry and wet age-related macular degeneration [1].
