Differential Survival of Retinal Ganglion Cell Types Following Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Background. Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is a common cause of retinal ischemia, rapidly inducing neuronal death and often producing irreversible vison loss. Interventions such as thrombolysis restore perfusion but cannot recover neurons already lost, and most patients retain permanent visual deficits. Identifying which neuronal populations die, and how rapidly, may therefore reveal timing…
