- Incidence of Adverse Events related to the sub retinal administration of AAV2-RPGR [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Safety is defined as the absence of ATIMP-related safety events
- Improvement in visual function [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Improvements in visual function as assessed by ocular examination
- Improvement in retinal function [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Improvements in retinal function as assessed by retinal assessement
- Improvement in Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 18 months ]•Quality of life will be measured by QoL questionnaire
