Clinical features of patients who underwent cell transplantation. Slit-lamp photographs of successful transplants in patient 2 (A, B) and patient 14 (C, D) before treatment (A, C) and at last follow-up—(B) 5.6 years and (D) 1.9 years—with restoration of an intact transparent corneal epithelium and reduced vascularisation (B). Notably, a localised region of superior-temporal whorl-like staining (obscured by the eyelid) was evident on clinical examination in patient 14 (D). Slit-lamp photographs of failed transplants in patient 8 (E, F) and patient 13 (G, H) before treatment (E, G) and at last follow-up—(F) 2.6 years and (H) 2 years—with an irregular corneal epithelium and recurrence of epithelial defects.
