  • Hamza,

    I think you know as well as anybody else here that each "stage" is quite different. Each is affected differently. So to ask "how long it lasts" is something unknown.

    But given the description you gave, it sounds like you are pretty advanced. If you have the RCD form of RP then likely you will remain like this most of your life with the slowing of visual field. Since people with this kind of RP do not go totally blind. People CAN go totally blind from RP but usually they retain some useful vision.
