Hi, my name is Gwyneth , my eldest son has keratoconus and myself and my youngest son have retinitis pigmentosa, I was wondering if anyone know if these two conditions could be linked ?.thank you

Hi Gwyneth,

I've not come across anyone with KC who also has retinitis pigmentosa and I was going to say that just because you have one eye condition it doesn't stop you having another.

However I have found some articles suggesting there is a link:
