Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death that occurs in the retina. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death, cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. The process by which the anatomical structures of the compound eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The adult compound eye is a precise assembly of 700-800 ommatidia. Each ommatidium is composed of 20 cells, identified by cell type and position. An example of compound eye morphogenesis is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of development, the biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote, or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult). Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death that occurs in the compound eye retina. Programmed cell death that occurs in the developing retina. Programmed cell death that occurs in the retina to remove excess cells between ommatidia, thus resulting in a hexagonal lattice, precise with respect to cell number and position surrounding each ommatidium. A process that directly activates any of the steps required for programmed cell death in the compound eye retina. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death that occurs in the retina. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death that occurs in the compound eye retina.
