Abstract Background Retinal ischemia-related eye diseases result in visual dysfunction. This study investigates the protective effects and mechanisms of Xue-Fu-Zhu-Yu decoction (XFZYD) with respect to retinal ischemia. Methods Retinal ischemia (I) was induced in Wistar rats by a high intraocular pre...
