Abstract

Neuroprotection is a therapeutic strategy directed at keeping retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) alive and functional. This article discusses three commonly asked questions about neuroprotection and attempts to answer them in the context of our current understanding of the pathophysiology of RGC loss in glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

摘要

神经保护是一种旨在维持视网膜神经节细胞（RGCs）存活并保持其功能的治疗策略。本文讨论了关于神经保护的三个常见问题，并尝试在我们目前对青光眼性视神经病变中RGCs丧失的病理生理学理解的背景下对这些问题进行解答。
