Table 1.
Comparison of visual signs of rejected versus non-rejected transplanted RPE.
| Rejection | No Rejection | |
|---|---|---|
| Fundoscopy | Clumping of pigment Optic nerve head hyperemia |
Expanding, flat, pigmented layer |
| OCT | Inflammation: CME, choroidal thickening, vitreous haze Subretinal deposits Neuroretina atrophy Disintegration or clumping of transplant material |
Hyperreflective monolayer Healthy neuroretina morphology:
|
| FA | Optic nerve head leakage Leakage around graft |
Absence of leakage around graft or optic nerve head |
| AF | Uneven autofluorescence Loss of autofluorescence over time |
Double thickness of autofluorescence (transplanted over host RPE) |
