(A) Spectral domain optical coherence tomography showing the preferred retinal locus of fixation on the graft at 3 years after surgery. Case no 3. The red arrow points to an intact photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction of the retina in the area of the graft, which is surrounded by an area of geographic atrophy (case no 3). The external limiting membrane can also be seen above the IS/OS junction. The microperimetry showed retinal sensitivity in this area. The visual acuity at this time point was 20/32. (B) Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography showing the preferred retinal locus of fixation on the graft at 3 years after surgery (case no 8). In this case, although the photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction could not be identified clearly, an intact outer nuclear (yellow arrow) and outer plexiform layer (blue arrow) were visible. Microperimetry showed retinal sensitivity in this area. The visual acuity at this time point was 20/40.
