was present despite the presence of retinal blood flow as confirmed by OCT. Allografts may be less vascularized than syngeneic whole eye transplantations. In addition, histopathology reveals some inflammation and neovascularization to the cornea and central degeneration of the retina. These findings serve as targets for future, therapies, improvements and investigation. Future studies of systemic and local immunosuppressive therapies are necessary to support the structural and functional success of whole-eye allotransplantation.
