Increased Expression of Angiogenic and Inflammatory Proteins in the Vitreous of Patients with Ischemic Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

Background Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common disease characterized by a disrupted retinal blood supply and a high risk of subsequent vision loss due to retinal edema and neovascular disease. This study was designed to assess the concentrations of selected signaling proteins in the vitreous and blood of patients with ischemic CRVO.
