Brief Summary: Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the potential efficacy and safety of vitamin A palmitate dosing in improving dark adaptation in participants with reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) and abnormal dark adaptation.

Study Population: The first cohort consists of seven participants with RPD who meet the eligibility criteria. The second cohort will consist of five participants with RPD who meet the eligibility criteria. Up to five additional participants may be accrued in the second cohort to account for participants who withdraw from the study prior to receiving two months of study supplementation for a reason unrelated to an adverse reaction. Up to 18 participants may be enrolled in this study.

Design: This is a pilot, uncontrolled, prospective, single center study to investigate the potential efficacy and safety of vitamin A palmitate dosing in improving dark adaptation in participants with RPD and abnormal dark adaptation. Participants in the first cohort were instructed to take 16,000 IU of vitamin A palmitate daily for two months. Participants in the second cohort will be instructed to take 48,000 IU of vitamin A palmitate daily for one month. Enrollment for Cohort 1 ended on January 10, 2019. Participants in both cohorts will continue in the study for one month after ending Vitamin A supplementation. Participants in Cohort 1 may enroll into Cohort 2 as long as their last intake of vitamin A palmitate was greater than two months prior to their enrollment into Cohort 2.

Outcome Measures: For each cohort, the primary outcome is the measurement of dark adaptation parameters (thresholds and kinetics) by the following: dark adaptation times as measured by the AdaptDx comparing before and after vitamin A palmitate and dark adaptation parameters as measured by the Medmont comparing before and after vitamin A palmitate supplementation. The primary outcome will be assessed at Month 2 in the first cohort and Month 1 in the second cohort. For both cohorts, the secondary outcomes include changes in low luminance visual acuity (LLVA) and changes in patient reported outcomes as measured by the low luminance questionnaire (LLQ). The secondary outcomes also include measurement of dark adaptation parameters (thresholds and kinetics) comparing baseline and one month after completing supplementation (Month 3 in Cohort 1 and Month 2 in Cohort 2).
