patient who presented with two uncommon degenerative
conditions together. He was a diagnosed case of retinitis
pigmentosa, with all its manifestations but had ambulatory
visual potential. When this condition was overwhelmed with
another significant vision threatening condition like Vogt
Koyanagi Haradas syndrome, treatment had to be early, quick
and aggressive to safeguard the macula to preserve central
visual acuity as much as possible
