文摘Retinal ganglion cell apoptosis is considered to be the main cause of loss of vision in glaucoma patients. Microglia cells are phagocytic cells present in the retina. In the retina of glaucoma rat models, microglia cells become activated, which suggests a role for microglia in the pathogenesis of optic nerve injury in glaucoma patients.
