retina called "rods" and "cones". |
The pen color goes progressively from light to dark. | RP causes progressive vision loss. |
The letters RP are slightly blurred. | RP may cause blurred vision which makes reading difficult. |
Parts of the first letter are hidden. | RP may reduce visual fields, "hiding" parts of the
surrounding world. |
The logo is in black and white with no colors. | RP may impair color vision. |
