      Regarding the pathogenesis of RVO, various proinflammatory cytokines and angiogenic growth factors induced by hypoxia have been implicated in increased microvascular permeability, inflammation, and fibroproliferation by controlling the inner blood-retinal barrier breakdown, extracellular matrix cytoskeletal remodeling, and endothelial-mesenchymal cell transition.
