A 62-year-old man presents with gradual painless blurred vision in the right eye over 5 days, described as looking through frosted glass. Vision is relatively stable. He has well-controlled hypertension (BP 128/82), hyperlipidemia, and no diabetes. Best-corrected visual acuity is 6/18 OD (baseline 6/6 six months ago). Pupils are equal and reactive with no relative afferent pupillary defect. Dilated fundus examination reveals the findings marked **A** in the diagram. Fluorescein angiography shows capillary dropout less than 10 disc diameters. Which of the following best characterizes the clinical significance of the hemorrhage pattern marked **A** in distinguishing this case as non-ischemic rather than ischemic CRVO?
